We have developed a simple and direct method for the synthesis of aryl ethers by reacting alcohols/phenols (ROH) with aryl ammonium salts (ArNMe3+), which are readily prepared from anilines (ArNR′2, R′=H or Me). This reaction proceeds smoothly and rapidly (within a few hours) at room temperature in the presence of a commercially available base, such as KOtBu or KHMDS, and has a broad substrate scope with respect to both ROH and ArNR′2. It is scalable and compatible with a wide range of functional groups.
Conversion of phenols into aryl tert-butyl ethers under mitsunobu conditions utilizing neighboring group contribution

Under Mitsunobu conditions N-Boc-2-(hydroxymethyl)piperidine acts as a source of tert-butyl residue for the conversion of phenols into aryl tert-butyl ethers under neutral conditions. This reactivity can be attributed to a neighboring group contribution which strongly depends on the structure of the employed N-Boc-aminoalcohol. Five other, closely related N-Boc-aminoalcohols investigated here did not show this special reactivity, and gave the regular Mitsunobu coupling products.
