Abstract

It is shown that anisylic phenyl carbonates thermally decompose to yield the corresponding anisylic phenyl ethers. The method involves heating the carbonates to their decomposition temperatures using hexamethylphosphoramide or toluene as a solvent. Thirteen anisylic phenyl ethers were prepared in good to excellent yields by this apparently general and simple procedure.
