Selective cleavage of aryl methyl ether moiety of aryloxy aryl methyl ether by 48% HBr/tetra-n-butylphosphonium bromide

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919308012606

Aryl methyl ether moiety in the molecule containing aryl aryl ether part along with aryl methyl ether part is selectively cleaved to give the desired substituted phenol in excellent yield by using 48% HBr in the presence of tetra-n-butylphosphonium bromid
