Abstract

An intermolecular phenolic coupling promoted by iodosobenzene leading to Pummerer’s ketone and its analogs has been developed. The reaction allows for the preparation of products derived from both phenols and naphthols, bearing various substitution patterns, in excellent diasteroselectivity. The Pummerer’s ketone-type compounds form as sole low molecular weight products, which together with simple experimental conditions, makes the reaction a convenient entry to this important molecular motif.
