Abstract:Oxygen-substituted arenes not only commonly exist in biologically important molecules, but also serve as a versatile handle to install other functional groups. However, to date it remains challenging to install oxygen groups directly and site-selectively to common aromatic compounds, especially when additional arene functionalization is simultaneously required. Current arene C−H oxidation strategies generally require directing groups to control site-selectivity and/or use strong oxidants, whereas other approac… Show more
