Regioselective Oxidative Arylation of Fluorophenols.
Congjun YuFrederic W PatureauPublished in: Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English) (2019)
A metal free and highly regioselective oxidative arylation reaction of fluorophenols is described. The relative position of the fluoride leaving group (i.e., ortho or para) controls the 1,2 or 1,4 nature of the arylated quinone product, lending versatility and generality to this oxidative, defluorinative, arylation concept.
