(C6F5)3B Catalyzed Chemoselective and ortho-Selective Substitution of Phenols with [alpha]-Aryl [alpha]-Diazoesters

The development of an efficient method for the site-selective substitution of unprotected phenols has long been considered as an attractive but challenging task. Herein, we describe a highly chemo- and ortho-selective substitution reaction of phenols with [alpha]-aryl [alpha]-diazoacetates with comm...

Summary:The development of an efficient method for the site-selective substitution of unprotected phenols has long been considered as an attractive but challenging task. Herein, we describe a highly chemo- and ortho-selective substitution reaction of phenols with [alpha]-aryl [alpha]-diazoacetates with commercially available (C6F5)3B as the catalyst. This reaction proceeds under simple and mild conditions with high efficiency, it features a wide substrate scope and can be easily scaled up.
