Benzene to anisole?
« on: April 04, 2014, 09:31:25 AM »
Just wondering what the process is for forming anisole, I can't seem to find it anywhere!
Many thanks

to the best of my knowledge, there is no one-step process for this transformation: you'd have to prepare phenol first (several methods) , and then do an ether synthesis  (Williamson's comes to mind)

Ah okay. Went for sulfonation, then heating with a base to form a phenol and then Williamson's. Thanks for your *delete me*
