Great CO‐mbination : A novel method is reported for the controlled one‐pot synthesis of various symmetrical or unsymmetrical diaryl ethers by double arylation of a simple inorganic oxygen source (see scheme). This versatile and highly selective process is based on the use of a cheap and low toxicity copper catalytic system.
