Abstract

The use of phenyliodine(III) bis(trifluoroacetate), (PIFA), in (CF 3 ) 2 CHOH or CF 3 CH 2 OH for the functionalization of para-substituted phenol ethers with nucleophilic reagents; and evidence that such reactions are initiated by SET-oxidation of the phenol ethers with PIFA and proceed through arene cation-radical intermediates have been reported by Kita and co-workers. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 Similar functionalizations of naphthalene, polymethylbenzenes, and ...
