Phenols have been arylated by a palladium(0)-catalyzed coupling reaction. Two methods were used: a Grignard reagent of a protected phenol component 2 was coupled with a haloarene, or an umpolung (reversed reactivity) where unprotected phenolic halides 6 were coupled with aryl Grignard reagents. Bis-arylation and regiospecific ortho-, meta- and para-arylations were achieved. Aryl-aryl couplings were insensitive to steric hindrance in the Grignard component, but were inhibited by sulfur-containing substituents in the phenolic component. A thiocyanate substituted biaryl was used to synthesize arylated phenols with various sulfur functionalities.
