| Abstract: | The development of efficient catalytic methods to cleave the relatively unreactive C? O bonds of ethers remains an important challenge in catalysis. Building on our group’s recent work, we report the dehydroaryloxylation of aryl alkyl ethers using pincer iridium catalysts. This method represents a rare fully atom‐economical method for ether C? O bond cleavage. |
