A convenient synthesis of methyl- and isopropyl-benzyl ethers using silver(II) oxide as reagent

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919308009835

Substituted bromomethyl- and chloromethylbenzenes and bis(bromomethyl) benzenes were directly converted, in high yields, to the corresponding methyl- and isopropyl-benzyl ethers by treatment with silver(II) oxide in methanol or isopropanol.
