Abstract
In the view of substrate availability, atomic efficiency and cost, directly using arenols as coupling partners in cross-coupling, would be one of the most attractive goals. Up to date, many efforts have been made to activate the C—O bond of phenols with different strategies, for example, through in-situ formed intermediates, through a catalytic reductive dearomatization-condensation-rearomatization sequence or catalytic deoxygenation. In this review, we summarized recent advances in cross-couplings of arenols as the electrophiles via C—O activation.
