Abstract

Although much less familiar than their alkyl-substituted analogues, aryl-substituted phenols have recently shown interesting potential for the preparation of “molecular harpoons”. 1 Previous procedures for the syntheses of arylated phenols2, 3 are mostly of academic interest rather than solid preparative methods. Synthetic routes based on assembling the phenol backbone from “aliphatic building blocks” seem to be of most promise, generally ...
