It is well known that diazonium salts (ArN2+) react with phenols (Ar′OH) to give aryl diazoethers or diazo compounds, but their cross-coupling to exclusively access diaryl ethers is challenging. Herein we disclose the Cu-catalyzed etherification of phenols with aryl diazonium salts at room temperature, yielding diaryl ethers in moderate to excellent yields. The advantages of this protocol are mild
