Abstract

Biphenols are indispensable building blocks in ligand systems for organic catalysis. 3,3′5,5′-Tetramethyl-2,2′-biphenol is a particular versatile motif in different catalytic systems. We developed an easy to perform and scalable process to give access to large quantities of this important building block by the use of selenium dioxide, a common and readily available oxidizer.
