| Abstract: | A phase transfer method to prepare benzyl phenethyl ethers from electron-rich benzyl halides and 2-phenylethanols supporting electron-withdrawing groups is described. The yields are excellent, in contrast to the very low ones previously reported for the same kind of compounds prepared by other ways. |
