Abstract

Several types of bifunctional molecules are smoothly phenylated by triphenylbismuth diacetate in a reaction which has an intduction period, a curious solvent dependence, and the need for illumination; however, the addition of a small amount of Cu (OAc) 2 removes all these limitations and accelerates greatly the reaction.
