Abstract

Abstract : Diaryl ethers are synthesized directly from simple arenes for the first time through dual C(sp 2 )–H activation with the aid of a bidentate auxiliary by nickel catalysis. The auxiliary can be removed smoothly under mild reaction conditions. Abstract : Diaryl ethers are synthesized directly from simple arenes for the first time through dual C(sp 2 )–H activation with the aid of a bidentate auxiliary by nickel catalysis. The anion of the additive is crucial to the transformation, and the control experiments reveal that the acyloxylated benzamide is the key intermediate.
