An intriguing class of quinones that efficiently catalyze the air oxidation (overall hydroxylation) of arylboronic acids to the corresponding phenol is reported. Autocatalysis in the parent system is particularly efficient and leads to rapid, quantitative synthesis of quinones such as 4 from boronic acid 1 at room temperature using air as stoichiometric oxidant. The efficiency results from a balance between two-stage conjugate addition and migration with each step driven by aromatization of a naphthalene fragment.

A thorough study of mild and environmentally friendly electrochemical-induced hydroxylation of aryl halides without a catalyst is presented. The best protocol consists of hydroxylation of different aryl iodides and aryl bromides by water solution in the presence of Et3N under air, affording the target phenols in good isolated yields. Moreover, aryl chlorides were successfully employed as substrates. This methodology also provides a direct pathway for the formation of deoxyphomalone, which displayed a significant anti-proliferation effect.

Owing to the high activity and low-cost, copper-based catalysts are promising candidates for transforming aromatic halides to yield phenols. In this work, we report the selective hydroxylation of aromatic iodides to produce phenols using an atomically dispersed copper catalyst (Cu-ZnO-ZrO2) under mild reaction conditions. The reactions were conducted without the use of additional organic ligands, and the protection of an inert atmosphere environment is not required. The catalyst can be easily prepared, scalable, and is very efficient for a wide range of substrates. The catalytic reactions can be carried out with only 1.24 mol% Cu loading, which shows great potential in mass production.

Copper nitride (Cu3N) was used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the hydroxylation of aryl halides under ligand-free conditions. The cubic Cu3N nanoparticles showed high catalytic activity, comparable to those of conventional Cu catalysts with nitrogen ligands, demonstrating that the nitrogen atoms in Cu3N act as functional ligands that promote hydroxylation.
Photocatalytic synthesis of phenols mediated by visible light using KI as catalyst

A transition-metal-free hydroxylation of iodoarenes to afford substituted phenols is described. The reaction is promoted by KI under white LED light irradiation and uses atmospheric oxygen as oxidant. By the use of triethylamine as base and solvent, the corresponding phenols are obtained in moderate to good yields. Mechanistic studies suggest that KI and catalysis synergistically promote the cleavage of C-I bond to form free aryl radicals.

A stable Ni2+substituted TiO2catalyst (Ti0.97Ni0.03O1.97) has been synthesized by a solution combustion method with an average crystallite size of 7.5 nm. Ti1?xNixO2?x(x= 0.01-0.06) crystallizes in the TiO2anatase structure with Ni2+substituted in Ti4+ion sites and Ni taking a nearly square planar geometry. This catalyst is found to be highly active in the transformation of diverse arylboronic acids to the corresponding phenols. The catalyst coated cordierite monolith can even be recycled for up to 20 cycles with a cumulative TOF of 1.8 × 105h?1. In scale-up reactions, various phenols are synthesized by employing a single cordierite monolith. It also shows high performance in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol.
Catalyst-free rapid conversion of arylboronic acids to phenols under green condition
Dong, Zhenhua,Liu, Mengmeng,Pan, Hongguo
, (2021/09/06)
A catalyst-free and solvent-free method for the oxidative hydroxylation of aryl boronic acids to corresponding phenols with hydrogen peroxide as the oxidizing agent was developed. The reactions could be performed under green condition at room temperature within very short reaction time. 99% yield of phenol could be achieved in only 1 min. A series of different arenes substituted aryl boronic acids were further carried out in the hydroxylation reaction with excellent yield. It was worth nothing that the reaction could completed within 1 min in all cases in the presence of ethanol as co-solvent.

A V2O5@TiO2 catalyzed green and efficient protocol for the hydroxylation of boronic acid into phenol has been developed utilizing environmentally benign oxidant hydrogen peroxide. A wide range of electron-donating and the electron-withdrawing group-containing (hetero)aryl boronic acids were transformed into their corresponding phenol. The methodology was also applied successfully to transform various natural and bioactive molecules like tocopherol, amino acids, cinchonidine, vasicinone, menthol, and pharmaceuticals such as ciprofloxacin, ibuprofen, and paracetamol. The other feature of the methodology includes gram-scale synthetic applicability, recyclability, and short reaction time.

Cu2O/TiO2 as a sustainable and recyclable photocatalyst for gram-scale synthesis of phenols in water
Hosseini-Sarvari, Mona,Keshavarz, Kimia,Tavakolian, Mina
, (2021/08/30)
A green and straightforward protocol was developed for the synthesis of phenols from aryl boronic acid using an inexpensive and available Cu2O/TiO2 photocatalyst under visible light and sunlight. This approach proceeded in mild reaction conditions in water and the presence of air as a green oxidant, resulting in the corresponding phenols in good to excellent yields. Sunlight was also a sustainable source for this photochemical reaction. Heterogeneous nano photocatalyst was successfully recovered in 8 consecutive runs. It is noteworthy that, the photocatalyst exhibited high activity for the large-scale synthesis of phenols.
