Aryl ethers
Aryl ethers are ethers in which the oxygen atom is attached to at least one aromatic ring, a strong C(sp2)–O linkage abundant in drugs, natural products, and lignin.
BDE-47
BDE-47, or 2,2′,4,4′-tetrabromodiphenyl ether, is a brominated flame retardant once used in foams and textiles; the dominant PBDE congener, it is a persistent organic pollutant slated for global elimination.
Fluorinated aryl ethers
Fluorinated aryl ethers are aryl ethers bearing fluorine or perfluoroalkyl groups like OCF3, used in drugs such as riluzole and in pesticides, first synthesized by Yagupol'skii in 1955.
Heteroaryl ethers
Heteroaryl ethers are ethers in which one group attached to oxygen is a heteroaryl group, a structural motif found in drugs such as lansoprazole and flecainide.
Non-phenolic aryl alkyl ethers
Non-phenolic aryl alkyl ethers are ethers in which an alkyl group bonds through oxygen to a benzenoid or polycyclic aromatic ring, as in methoxyarenes and naphthyl methyl ethers.
Phenyl glycidyl ether
Phenyl glycidyl ether, also called glycidyl phenyl ether or 1,2-epoxy-3-phenoxypropane, is a colorless liquid used mainly as a reactive diluent in epoxy resins and regulated as a potential occupational carcinogen.
Ullmann condensation
The Ullmann condensation is a copper-catalyzed reaction in which aryl halides couple with amines, phenols, or thiols to form aryl amines, ethers, and thioethers, first reported by Fritz Ullmann in 1901.
