Rapid synthesis of etherimides via catalytic arylation of silylated phenols
We report here a rapid and efficient method for the synthesis of aromatic etherimides from silylated phenols and 4-fluorophthalimides catalyzed by CsF. Reaction times are a few minutes and products are easily purified requiring no column chromatography.
