Abstract
Abstract A simple and efficient palladium-catalyzed carbon–oxygen bond formation is reported. The palladium-tri- tert -butylphosphine complex was found to be effective in converting haloarenes to corresponding substituted phenols. This methodology offers a direct transformation of aryl halides to phenols, as well as the straightforward application to generate a wide variety of diaryl or alkyl/aryl ethers.
