In a broad programme of developing efficient, selective and eco-friendly synthetic methods for pharmacologically important moieties, herein, we report a simple, improved and one-pot procedure for the synthesis of substituted amidophenols catalyzed by iodine under ambient temperature with good yields (Scheme 1). In our previous communication, we demonstrated that a mixture of substituted phenol and aldehyde, when heated at 85 °C in acetonitrile in the presence ...
