Facile Synthesis of Chloro-substituted Aromatic Ethers by Use of Benzyltrimethylammonium Tetrachloroiodate
The reaction of aromatic ethers with a calculated amount of benzyltrimethylammonium tetrachloroiodate in acetic acid (or dichloromethane) under mild conditions gave, selectively, the objective chloro-substituted aromatic ethers in good yields.
