Abstract

A Convenient Method for the Preparation of Aryl Cyclopropyl Ethers from Phenols.-Reaction of phenols (I) with cyclopropane (II) gives the aryl 1'-(phenylthio)cyclopropyl ethers (III). They can be easily desulfurated by two different methods to yield the desired aryl cyclopropyl ethers (IV). -(HOLLINGWORTH, GREGORY J.; DINNELL, KEVIN; DICKINSON, LAURA C.; ELLIOTT, JASON M.; KULAGOWSKI, JANUSZ J.; SWAIN, CHRISTOPHER J.; THOMSON, CHRISTOPHER G.; Tetrahedron Lett. 40 (1999) 13, 2633-2636; Merck Sharp Dohme Res.
