A facile and site-selective C-H bond fluorination of phenols using removable 2-pyridyloxy group as an auxiliary was developed. Alternatively, late-stage C-H bond fluorination of bioactive 2-phenoxyl nicotinate derivatives and diflufenican were also feasible under the present strategy.
Decarbonylative Diaryl Ether Synthesis by Pd and Ni Catalysis
Because diarylethers are present as an important motif in pharmaceuticals and natural products, extensive studies for the development of novel methods have been conducted. A conventional method for the construction of the diarylether moiety is the intermolecular cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides and phenols with a copper or palladium catalyst. We developed a catalytic decarbonylative etherification
