Novel template-directed anodic phenol-coupling reaction.
Abstract
Substituted phenols were anodically coupled to the corresponding 2,2'-biphenols via tetraphenoxy borate derivatives. This electrochemical method is particularly useful for methyl-substituted substrates, such as 2,4-dimethyl phenol. The selective ortho-coupling reaction can be easily performed on a multikilogram scale.
