The graphite-catalyzed ipso-functionalization of arylboronic acids in an aqueous medium: metal-free access to phenols, anilines, nitroarenes, and haloarenes

“… 10 In recent years, many scientists have established that carbon-based materials can show elevated catalytic efficiencies in organic synthesis compared to traditional metal catalysts. 11 The sustainable nature of these carbon-based materials has been well documented in the literature. 12 Among them, the use of graphite as an environmentally benign catalyst in organic synthesis has taken on vast significance.…”
