Electrochemical dimerization of halogenated p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid derivatives followed by Zn reduction provided the corresponding diaryl ethers. Manipulation of the reduction step using several procedures increased its efficiency, which enabled the construction of o-methylthalibrine, an isoquinoline-class alkaloid. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
