Abstract

A Highly para-Selective Copper(II)-Catalyzed Direct Arylation of Aniline and Phenol Derivatives. -A variety of biaryls is prepared by a Friedel-Crafts-type strategy employing symmetrical or unsymmetrical diaryliodonium salts. Both para-substituted phenols and anilines are selectively arylated at the ortho-position (to be continued). -(CIANA, C.-L.; PHIPPS, R. J.; BRANDT, J. R.; MEYER, F.-M.; GAUNT*, M. J.; Angew.
