A new method has been developed for the rhodium-catalyzedcross-coupling of aryl carbamates with organoboron reagents. The use of an NHC ligand bearing a 2-adamantyl group, i.e., I(2-Ad), is essential to the success of the reaction. The reaction involves the rhodium-mediated activation of the relatively inert C(aryl)-O bond of aryl carbamates.

The carbamate (–O2CNR2) function is an excellent directing group for palladium-catalysed direct arylation reactions giving both protected or free mono- or di-substituted phenols, as well as an example of a dibenzopyranone, depending on coupling partners (aryl iodides or diaryliodonium salts) and conditions.
