Abstract

The selective transformation of diols is one of the significant challenges in organic synthesis, especially when they contain sterically and electronically similar hydroxyl groups.[1, 2] In particular, the selective monoarylation of vicinal diols is highly important, because some kinds of aryl groups, such as 4-methoxyphenyl, 4-chlorophenyl, and 4-nitrophenyl groups, have been utilized for the protection of hydroxyl groups [3] and β-aryloxy alcohols, which ...
