Abstract
1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmin][BF4]) has been demonstrated to be a suitable reaction medium for the synthesis of aryl benzyl ethers by the Williamson reaction. A variety of phenols react with benzyl chloride in [bmim][BF4] to afford the desired ethers in satisfactory yields. The reaction proceeds cleanly and the use of the ionic liquid allows for easy product isolation.
