Acid-catalyzed synthesis of condensed polycyclic diaryl ethers from arenols. Issue 93 (7th November 2019) - Tanii, Saori
Abstract : Diaryl ethers containing condensed polycyclic aryl groups were synthesized from arenols in the presence of a catalytic amount of p -chlorobenzenesulfonic acid. Abstract : Diaryl ethers containing condensed polycyclic aryl groups were synthesized from arenols in the presence of a catalytic amount of p -chlorobenzenesulfonic acid. Symmetrical binaphthyl, biphenanthryl, and bipyrenyl ethers were obtained in high yields. Unsymmetrical derivatives were also synthesized from 9-phenanthrol and arenols, using combinations of reactive and unreactive substrates.
