The most straightforward synthesis of β-hydroxy ethers consists of the ring opening of glycidol with phenols in the presence of tertiary amines or under alkaline conditions at 80−130 °C. 9 However, there is a recent report of the synthesis of a variety of hydroxy ethers with phenoxide anions in micellar media with use of Ce(OTf) 4 . 10 Even in this methodology, regioisomers were obtained and the yields reported were particularly lower when the reaction was carried ...
