is reported. Naphthols were found to undergo facile unprecedented oxidative dearomatization with regioselective hydroxylation with phenyl selenyl bromide in open air conditions. Quaternary stereocenters were developed along with formation of sterically demanding α- and γ-ketols with high yields. Functional group tolerance like esters is revealed. A thorough study of the stereoelectronic demands of the
containing quaternary carbon centres via aminative and azidative oxidative dearomatization of phenols. The same protocol has also been successfully employed to achieve oxidativeperoxidation of phenols. The simplest metal free reaction conditions delineate an easy breakthrough to the “Trio”- oxidative amination, azidation and peroxidation. An array of diverse polyfunctionalised heterocycles has been synthesized
