Abstract

The easy to prepare dimeric bis (μ-iodo) bis [(−)-sparteine] dicopper ([CuI {(−)-spa}] 2 complex) is shown to be versatile catalyst for O-arylation and O-alkylation with various aryl halides with phenols and aliphatic alcohols respectively, including less reactive aryl chlorides, such as chlorobenzene under mild conditions.
