Abstract

O-Arylation of a wide variety of substituted phenols and aliphatic alcohols with aryl halides catalyzed by copper iodide under mild ligand and additive free conditions ( n Bu 4 NBr, DMF, K 3 PO 4 , reflux, 22 h) is accomplished in good to excellent product yields (up to 95%). ... Unless otherwise stated, all reactions were run for 22 h at reflux with CuI/ n Bu 4 NBr/1a/2a/K 3 PO 4 ratio of 1:1:10:10:20 in the solvent. ... Reaction carried out with 5 mol % CuI and n Bu 4 NBr.
