31.5.1.4.3 Synthesis of Phenols and Phenolates with Retention of the Functional Group (Update 2018)

Abstract

This chapter is an update to the earlier Science of Synthesis review (Section 31.5.1.4) describing the functionalization of monohydric phenols. It focuses on the literature published in the period 2007–2016, with a particular emphasis on metal-catalyzed alkylation methods as well as trifluoromethylsulfanylation approaches.

Key words

phenols - halogenation - metal-catalyzed alkylation - trifluoromethylsulfanylation - hydrogenolysis - chlorophenols - C—H alkylation
