Abstract

An alternate strategy involves the coupling of silyl-protected aryl alcohols with aryl fluorides. A variety of reagents have been used to promote deprotection of the silyl group, including CsF, [13] TBAF, [14] phosphazenes [15] or proazaphosphatranes. [16] These protocols all use trialkylsilyl-protected aryl alcohols. As such, these reactions produce one equivalent of silicon by-product relative to the amount of aryl ether formed. A more efficient protocol would be ...
