After conversion of phenols into O-pseudosaccharyl ethers (2) catalytictransferhydrogenolysis with Pd/C catalyst and sodium phosphinate as hydrogen donor gave arenes (ArH) in good yield. As an example of the application of this reaction in synthesis, oestrone was converted into oestratrienone in a high yielding, one step reaction.
