We have developed a simple and direct method for the synthesis of aryl ethers by reacting alcohols/phenols (ROH) with aryl ammonium salts (ArNMe 3 + ), 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 KO t Bu 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.
