Copper-mediated N- and O-arylations with arylboronic acids in a continuous flow microreactor: a new avenue for efficient scalability

A continuous flow procedure has been elaborated for the copper(II)-mediated N- and O-arylation of a range of compounds with arylboronic acids using a commercial microreactor setup. The compounds could be continuously generated in good yields paving the way for efficient scalability.     

Efficient synthesis of 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzoxazines via intramolecular copper-catalyzed O-arylation

A highly efficient synthetic approach to 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzoxazines is described. The method involves a mild intramolecular copper-catalyzed O-arylation of β aminoalcohol, which works well without N-protection.     

New copper-mediated O-arylations of phenols with arylstannanes

A novel method for the synthesis of diaryl ethers with phenols and arylstannanes under mild conditions is described. This copper-mediated O-arylation is feasible using DMAP in acetonitrile and is complementary to the use of boronic acids as aryl donors. The reaction is tolerant of a wide range of substituents and sterically hindered coupling partners.     

An efficient fluoride-mediated O-arylation of sterically hindered halophenols with silylaryl triflates under mild reaction conditions

The reaction between 2,6-dihalophenols and 2-(trimethylsilyl)aryl triflates in the presence of CsF using acetonitrile as solvent at room temperature led to the formation of functionalized diaryl ethers in very good yields.     

Impregnated copper on magnetite as catalyst for the O-arylation of phenols with aryl halides简

Nanoparticle Fe304 encapsulated CuO, as a heterogeneous catalyst, is a facile system for the synthesis of diaryl ethers by the cross-coupling reaction of various substituted aryl halides with various substituted phenols, which avoids using any type of expensive ligand and can be recovered from the reaction mixture by using a simple magnet. Moreover, this catalyst can be reused three times with high catalytic activity.     

Copper-mediated O-arylation of lactols with aryl boronic acids

A novel and efficient method to access phenolic glycosides has been established by using copper-mediated coupling reaction of aryl boronic acids with hemiacetals. The reaction enjoyed a wide range of substrate scope, and many phenolic glycosides can be synthesized in good yields.
