Abstract

The selective hydroxylation of aryl iodides and aryl bromides with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide pentahydrate is described. For this, the combination of copper(I) iodide and 8-hydroxyquinaldine at 70-130 ˚C in a mixture of dimethyl sulfoxide and water (2:3) is used. The resultant phenols can be readily reacted with alkyl and allyl halides in situ to provide the corresponding alkyl or allyl aryl ethers in high yields. The reactions are simple, general, and efficient, affording substituted phenols and alkyl aryl ethers under aerobic conditions.

Key words

phenols - copper iodide - tetrabutylammonium hydroxide pentahydrate - aryl halides - hydroxylation
