Copper(II)-catalyzed aromatization followed by bromination of cyclohexenones leading to phenols and bromophenols

Conversion of substituted cyclohexenones into the corresponding phenols can be achieved using copper acetate as the catalyst in the presence of LiBr and CF3COOH under oxygen. With the use of excess LiBr, electrophilic aromatic bromination afforded the corresponding bromophenol under similar catalytic conditions. Copyright
