Abstract

Aryl ethers are ubiquitous compounds and intermediates widely used in the synthesis of dyes, cosmetics, materials, fragrances, plant protection agents, stabilizers for plastics, natural products, and pharmaceuticals.[1] Within these molecules, the ether functionality confers particular properties to the aromatic ring. The ability to synthesize aryl ethers with a wide range of aliphatic and aromatic moieties represents a challenge and has thus ...
