A new high yield preparation of benzyl phenethyl ethers by phase transfer catalysis

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00032719808006475

A phase transfer method to prepare benzyl phenethyl ethers from electron-rich benzyl halides and 2-phenylethanols supporting electron- withdrawing groups is described. The yields are excellent, in contrast to the very low ones previously reported for the same kind of compounds prepared by other ways.
