An efficient strategy for the construction of aryl ethers using aryl fluorides and silyl ethers is described. This protocol uses a sub-stoichiometric amount of silicon-based reagent and proceeds under milder conditions than previously reported reactions of this type. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

A versatile synthetic protocol for benzyl phenyl ether preparation via O-alkylation of phenolic oxygen with readily available benzyl derivatives was demonstrated. The newly designed procedure was carried out using an eco-friendly medium, room-temperature ionic liquid (choline hydroxide), under metal- and base-catalyst-free aerobic conditions. The reaction platform was also successfully applied to phenol protection strategy.
The α-effect in the SNAr reaction of 1-(4-nitrophenoxy)-2,4-dinitrobenzene with anionic nucleophiles: Effects of solvation and polarizability on the α-effect

A kinetic study on SNAr reactions of 1-(4-nitrophenoxy)-2,4-dinitrobenzene (1a) with various anionic nucleophiles in 80 mol% water-20 mol% DMSO at 25.0 °C is reported. The Bronsted-type plot for the reaction of 1a with a series of substituted phenoxides and HOO- results in an excellent linear correlation with βnuc = 1.17. However, OH- exhibits dramatic negative deviation from the Bronsted-type plot, while N3-, C6H5S-, and butane-2,3-dione monoximate (Ox-) deviate positively from linearity. HOO- is 680-fold more reactive than OH- but does not exhibit the α-effect. In contrast, Ox- is 166-fold more reactive than isobasic 4-Cl-C6H4O- and exhibits the α-effect. Differential solvation effects have been suggested to be responsible for the α-effect in this study, i.e., Ox- exhibits the α-effect, since it is 5.7 kcal/mol less strongly solvated than 4-Cl-C6H4O- in the reaction medium, while HOO- does not show the α-effect due to a strong requirement for partial desolvation before nucleophilic attack. The highly enhanced reactivity of polarizable N3- and C6H5S- and extremely decreased reactivity of nonpolarizable OH- are in accord with the hard-soft acid and base principle.
