Etherification of phenols catalysed by solid-liquid phase transfer catalyst PEG400 without solvent

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397910008087221

Aromatic ethers were synthesised in excellent yields(above 86 %) and purity by the etherification of phenols with dimethyl sulfate or alkyl halides, catalysed by phase transfer catalyst PEG400 under solvent-free conditions, and the effects of some key reaction conditions were also studied.
