✦ Synopsis
A1I3 is an easily accessible and versatile ether-cleaving reagent.
Boron and silicon halides have been widely used for the cleavage of dialkyl and aryl alkyl ethers. la,b,2,3,4 Although A1C135 has been employed for the cleavage of certain types of ethers, its usefulness for ether cleavage is rather limited. Brief reports on the ether-cleaving property of AlBr3 and A1I3 have not been followed up to explore the full synthetic potential of these reagents. 6,7,8
