Copper(II) dichloride and boronic acids are effective catalysts for activating 1,2-diols in the presence of potassium carbonate as a base. Various 1,2-diols were selectively monoalkylated with allyl-, benzyl- and alkyl- halides in DMF by choosing a suitable catalyst for each 1,2-diols., Tetrahedron Letters, 50(13), pp.1466-1468; 2009}, pages = {1466--1468}, title = {Catalytic monoalkylation of 1,2-diols}, volume = {50}, year = {2009} }
