The reaction proceeds readily under neutral, solvent-free conditions using paraformaldehyde as a C-1 source. The present strategy has a broad substrate scope including aliphatic (both primary and secondary) and aromatic alcohols and provides a benign method for the preparation of symmetrical dialkoxymethanes in good yields (up to 89%).1 aSubaramanian, Murugan1 aBera, Abhijit1 aPrasad, Bhagavatula, L.
