High reactivity of trimethoxyphenyl (TMP)-iodonium(III) acetate for phenol O-arylation was achieved. It was first determined that the TMP ligand and acetate anion cooperatively enhance the electrophilic reactivity toward phenol oxygen atoms. The proposed method provides access to various diaryl ethers in significantly higher yields than the previously reported techniques. Various functional groups, including aliphatic alcohol, boronic ester, and sterically hindered groups, were tolerated during O-arylation, verifying the applicability of this ligand- and counterion-assisted strategy.

A novel catalytic system based on L-proline N-oxide/CuI was developed and applied to the cross-coupling reactions of various N- and O- nucleophilic reagents with aryl iodides and bromides. This strategy featured in the employment of an-proline derived dihydrazides N-oxide compound as the superior supporting ligand. By using this protocol, a variety of products, including N-arylimidazoles, N-arylpyrazoles, N-arylpyrroles, N-arylamines, and aryl ethers, were synthesized with up to 99% yield.
Radical and ionic mechanisms in rearrangements of o-tolyl aryl ethers and amines initiated by the Grubbs-stoltz reagent, et3SiH/KOtbu

Rearrangements of o-tolyl aryl ethers, amines, and sulfides with the Grubbs-Stoltz reagent (Et3SiH + KOtBu) were recently announced, in which the ethers were converted to o-hydroxydiarylmethanes, while the (o-tol)(Ar)NH amines were transformed into dihydroacridines. Radical mechanisms were proposed, based on prior evidence for triethylsilyl radicals in this reagent system. A detailed computational investigation of the rearrangements of the aryl tolyl ethers now instead supports an anionic Truce-Smiles rearrangement, where the initial benzyl anion can be formed by either of two pathways: (i) direct deprotonation of the tolyl methyl group under basic conditions or (ii) electron transfer to an initially formed benzyl radical. By contrast, the rearrangements of o-tolyl aryl amines depend on the nature of the amine. Secondary amines undergo deprotonation of the N-H followed by a radical rearrangement, to form dihydroacridines, while tertiary amines form both dihydroacridines and diarylmethanes through radical and/or anionic pathways. Overall, this study highlights the competition between the reactive intermediates formed by the Et3SiH/KOtBu system.
