Chemical Methods for Ether-Bond Cleavage by Electron-Transfer Reagents

摘要

Ethers can easily be cleaved with various electron-transfer reagents.New data concerning the chemical methods of the regioselective opening of the ether bond with alkali metals (M~0),alkali metal aromatic radical anions (Ar~-,M~+),alkalides (M~-, M~+C; C denotes a ligand) and low-valent transition-metal compounds are presented.
