Abstract
A Novel cobalt-catalyzed O-arylation of phenols with electron deficient aryl iodides is described. The reaction employs cheap and easy-to-handle cobalt acetate tetrahydrate as the catalyst precursor and naturally occurring l-valine as the ligand without the use of any transmetallating or reducing agents. The new protocol offers a wide scope for a variety of phenols towards O-arylation with moderate to excellent yields with electron deficient aryl iodides.
