One Step Synthesis of Novel Antimicrobial 2‐Hydroxy Diaryl Ethers Through Domestic Microwave Heating

Abstract

Herein we report the one step synthesis of novel 2‐hydroxy diaryl ethers that have been synthesized without any protection and deprotection. The reaction was completed within 5 minutes using a domestic microwave. These 2‐hydroxy diaryl ethers (1–6) have also been evaluated for their antimicrobial activity.

Keywords:

• Diaryl ether
• Microwave and fatty acid synthesis
