Synthesis of complex phenols enabled by a rationally designed hydroxide surrogate

PS Fier, KM Maloney - Angewandte Chemie, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
The conversion of aryl halides to phenols under mild reaction conditions is a longstanding
and formidable challenge in organic chemistry. Herein, we report the rational design of a …

Reagent design and ligand evolution for the development of a mild copper-catalyzed hydroxylation reaction

PS Fier, KM Maloney - Organic letters, 2017 - ACS Publications
Parallel synthesis and mass-directed purification of a modular ligand library, high-
throughput experimentation, and rational ligand evolution have led to a novel copper …

Palladium-catalyzed hydroxylation of aryl and heteroaryl halides enabled by the use of a palladacycle precatalyst

CW Cheung, SL Buchwald - The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2014 - ACS Publications
A method for the hydroxylation of aryl and heteroaryl halides, promoted by a catalyst based
on a biarylphosphine ligand t BuBrettPhos (L5) and its corresponding palladium precatalyst …

Direct conversion of haloarenes to phenols under mild, transition-metal-free conditions

PS Fier, KM Maloney - Organic letters, 2016 - ACS Publications
A high-yielding and practical method for the synthesis of phenols from electron-deficient
haloarenes and heteroarenes has been developed. The products are formed from …
