Abstract

Abstract Image

Diaryl ethers have been prepared by direct coupling of phenols including those that bear a strong electron-attracting substituent to electron-deficient aryl halides through SNAr-based addition reactions with assistance of microwave irradiation in high to excellent yields within 5−10 min. No catalysts were required under our conditions.
