H. Tohma et al., Efficient oxidative biaryl coupling reaction of phenol ether derivatives using hypervalent iodine(III) reagents, TETRAHEDRON, 57(2), 2001, pp. 345-352
Oxidative biaryl coupling reaction of phenol ether derivatives with the hyp
ervalent iodine reagent, phenyliodine(III) bis(trifluoroacetate) (PIFA), in
the presence of BF3. Et2O gave a variety of substituted biphenyl and binap
hthyl compounds in high yields. Replacement of PIFA with a more practical p
olymer-supported hypervalent iodine reagent has also been achieved. (C) 200
