Abstract
Unsymmetrical diaryl ethers were efficiently obtained in good yields by the reactions of diaryliodonium tosylates with phenols in the presence of potassium carbonate in acetonitrile. Use of aryl(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)iodonium tosylates provides the corresponding unsymmetrical diaryl ethers in good yields with high regioselectivities, together with the quantitative formation of 1-iodo-2,4-dimethoxybenzene.
