Synthesis of iodobiaryls and dibenzofurans by direct coupling at BDD anodes†
Abstract
The first direct oxidative phenol–arene cross-coupling reactions of an iodine-containing guaiacol derivative and the possible over-oxidation products of electron-rich phenols are described. Hereby, a “green” and targeted synthesis for dibenzofurans was developed.
