Room-temperature ionic liquid-promoted Williamson's synthesis of ethers: A facile synthesis of diaryloxymethanes

A simple and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of phenolic ethers using room-temperature ionic liquid, not only as solvent but also as promoter. Ionic liquid was recycled and subsequently reused without any loss of the product. Copyright Taylor & Francis, Inc.

Practical synthesis of diaryloxymethanes

Diaryloxymethanes were prepared by treating phenols with sodium hydride and dichloromethane in N-methyl-pyrrolidinone (NMP) at 40°C.
