✦ Synopsis


More than a dozen examples verify that ethers are cleaved regioselectively in very good yields by MeSiCl~3~/NaI in acetonitrile; primary and secondary methyl‐, benzyl‐, trityl‐ and tetrahydropyranyl ethers directly afford the primary and secondary alcohols. In the case of tert‐alkylmethyl ethers only the tert‐alkyl iodides are formed.
