Diaryl ethers are important structural motifs in a large number of natural products, industrial polymers and biologically active compounds. Transitional metal-catalyzed coupling reactions of aryl halides and phenols are the most straightforward methods for the preparation of diaryl ethers. Much progress have been made in palladium-catalyzed methods for the synthesis of diaryl ethers. Despite the high efficiency of the Pd-catalyzed methods, the need for expensive palladium and elaborate ligands limits its application to largeor industrialscale production. Thus, less costly alternatives are still in high demand. The copper-mediated coupling of aryl halides and phenols appears to be a method of choice, but it is often limited by the need to employ stoichiometric amounts of copper and harsh reaction conditions. Therefore, development of new methods for preparation of diaryl ethers under relatively mild reaction conditions is receiving increasing interesting. Recently, the groups of Bolm and Taillefer developed efficient and practical iron catalysts that allow the easy preparation of a wide range of diaryl ethers. 5] In 2009, Buchwald and Bolm found that the iron catalyst activity depended on the metal salt purity. They demonstrated that the presence of only 10 ppm of Cu2O in the iron-catalyzed C O cross-coupling reaction led to a significant increase in the yield. Although many efficient catalytic systems for the synthesis of aryl ethers through C O cross-coupling reaction are well developed, few reusable heterogeneous catalysts have been employed in this reaction. As a part of our ongoing research into the preparation of nanoparticle-based catalysts, we describe herein the use of CuFe2O4 nanoparticles as a magnetically separable catalyst for the C O crossing reaction of phenols and aryl halides (Scheme 1). To our knowledge, this report represents the first use of magnetic nanoparticles for the C O cross-coupling reaction of phenols and aryl halides. CuFe2O4 nanoparticles were prepared with a modified method according to the literatures (see the Supporting Information). The structure of the CuFe2O4 catalyst was determined by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD; Figure 1), the diffraction
