Abstract
Ullmann ether synthesis was conducted on a variety of chloro-heterocycles with different phenols using optimized conditions involving copper powder and cesium carbonate. On many substrates, microwave heating afforded higher yields in significantly shorter reaction times compared to conventional heating conditions. These findings provide a facile method for aryl ether synthesis from chloropyridines, chloroquinolines, and chlorobenzothiazoles.
