Abstract

Benzyl/allyl alkyl ethers can be synthesized by the Williamson synthesis, 1 by phase-transfer catalysis, 2 by the bis [ acetylacetonato ] nickel method, 3 or by the Grignard route. 4 We now report a new method for the synthesis ofbenzyl alkyl ethers and allyl alkyl ethers f~om corresponding
