Recent Advances in Phenol Dearomatization and Its Application in Complex Syntheses

Abstract

As a powerful tool, the dearomatization of phenols has been explored extensively and utilized by organic chemists during the course of complex syntheses. This review highlights recent advances in phenol dearomatizations, especially those accomplished in an enantioselective manner, and the application of dearomatization strategies in complex syntheses.

1 Introduction

2 New Developments in Phenol Dearomatization

3 Enantioselective Phenol Dearomatization

3.1 Controlled by Chiral Substrate

3.2 Controlled by Chiral Catalyst

3.3 Controlled by Chiral Hypervalent Iodine

4 Enantioselective Phenol Dearomatization Strategies in Complex Syntheses

4.1 With the Formation of a Carbon–Oxygen Bond

4.2 With the Formation of a Carbon–Carbon Bond

4.3 With the Formation of a Carbon–Nitrogen Bond

5 Conclusion

Key words
