Benzyl protection of phenols under neutral conditions was achieved by using a Pd(n3-C3H5)Cp-DPEphos catalyst. The palladium catalyst efficiently converted aryl benzyl carbonates into benzyl-protected phenols through the decarboxylative etherification. Alternatively, the nucleophilic substitution of benzyl methyl carbonates with phenols proceeded In the presence of the catalyst, yielding aryl benzyl ethers.
