Abstract
A one-pot method for the synthesis of aromatic ethers using hypervalent iodine(III) reagents obtained from the corresponding iodoaryl compounds is developed. In this concise method, six diaryl ethers and three heterocyclic aromatic ethers are synthesized in good yields. Furthermore, possible mechanisms for the syntheses of the hypervalent iodine reagents and construction of the aromatic ethers are proposed.
