A Method of Preparation of 4-Nitro Diphenyl Ether
Diphenyl ether was prepared as early as 1843 "by Ettling and Stonehouse. They subjected copper benzoate to destructive distillation. This was repeated by List and Limpricht (1855) and Fittig. (1862) |Maikopar (1873) first prepared a nitrophenyl ether by treating a nitrohalogen benzene with an alkaline phenolate in alcoholic solution.
