A simple and facile method for the cleavage of carbon-oxygen bonds promoted by niobium pentachloride(V) is described. Excellent yields and regioselectivities were observed with various alkyl aryl ethers to give the phenols. NMR studies revealed the formation of monoaryloxy niobium salt(V), and a neighboring-group effect may play a significant role in the regioselectivity. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2006.

A simple and convenient method for the differentiation of alkoxy groups on aromatic rings is described. Niobium(V) is found to possess a strong Lewis acid property to transform alkyl arylethers smoothly to the corresponding phenols in high yields. The excellent regioselectivity was also observed in dialkoxy benzene derivatives under mild conditions.
