A New Alkylation of Aryl Alcohols by Boron Trifluoride Etherate

A New Alkylation of Aryl Alcohols by Boron Trifluoride Etherate

The ethylation of aryl alcohols by an ethyl moiety of boron trifluoride etherate is described. The reaction proceeded cleanly and afforded good yields of the corresponding aryl ethyl ethers. It tolerated the presence of functional groups such as aryl, alkyl, halogens, nitro, nitrile, and amino. Howe...
