Abstract
Two types of ligands promote Cu-catalyzed alkoxylations of (hetero)aryl halides to provide alkyl aryl ethers. In case of coupling with aryl chlorides and bromides, two oxalic diamides serve as the powerful ligands. In addition, tert-butoxide enables a Cu-catalyzed alkoxylation of aryl iodides at room temperature.
