Abstract

Diaryl ethers occur in a great variety of pharmacologically important natural products, such as the prominent antibiotic vancomycin. 1 Diaryl ethers containing an ester or carboxylic acid function next to the ether linkage constitute an important subgroup of naturally occurring diaryl ethers. 2 Classic syntheses of diaryl ethers rely on the Ullmann ether synthesis and related methods. 3 More recently, diaryl ethers have been prepared by various transition metal ...
