C—O Selective Cross-Coupling of Chlorinated Phenol Derivatives
Keyword(s):
Chemoselective cross-coupling of phenol derivatives is valuable for generating products that retain halides. Here we discuss recent developments in selective cross couplings of chloroaryl phenol derivatives, with a particular focus on reactions of chloroaryl tosylates. The first example of a C—O-selective Ni-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of chloroaryl tosylates is discussed in detail. 1. Introduction 2. DFT Studies on Oxidative Addition at Ni(0) 3.
