The reaction of cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate with simple phenols (2-, 3- and 4-methylphenols) has been examined in the presence and absence of hydrogen peroxide.It has been observed that though the oxophilicity of cerium(IV) can be controlled by addition of hydrogen peroxide in the reaction medium, there is also a difference in the nature of products formed.The reaction can be used to obtain new terphenyls (3a, 3b and 3e), biphenyls (2a, and 2e), 2-hydroxy-1,9-dimethyl-7-nitro-dibenzyl-p-dioxin (4) and 3,7-dimethyl-1,9-dinitrodibenzofuran (5) in acceptable net yields.

Cerium (IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) has been conveniently employed for the first time to obtain nitro substituted bis- and tris-cresols which are otherwise obtained via lengthy and difficult routes.This is the first report on one-pot and one-step synthesis of oxidatively coupled cresols.Plausible mechanism for the reaction involved has also been suggested.
