Rhodium-HMPT-catalyzed direct ortho arylation of phenols with aryl bromides

2003 
Direct ortho arylation of phenols with aryl bromides catalyzed by a rhodium complex and hexamethylphosphorous triamide (HMPT) have been developed. A plausible reaction mechanism involving in situ generation of arylphosphites from phenols and HMPT, phosphorus-directed ortho metalation, and transesterification of the arylated arylphosphites with the substrate phenols is proposed.
