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.
