Phenol ethersQ 0270 Palladium-Catalyzed Synthesis of Aryl—Alkyl Ethers Using Alkoxysilanes as Nu-

cleophiles. — The use of NaOH as an activator is crucial in the reaction of aryl halides with trialkoxysilane (II). Otherwise, vinyl transfer instead of C—O bond formation takes place. When tetraalkoxysilanes (VI) are used, addition of Bu4NF instead of NaOH increases the yield in some cases [cf. (VIId)]. — (MILTON, E. J.; FUENTES, J. A.; CLARKE*, M. L.; Org. Biomol.
