Abstract

A Cu(OTf)2-mediated Chan-Lam reaction of carboxylic acids with arylboronic acids is a facile and practical methodology to access phenolic esters in good yields. The procedure tolerates various functional groups, such as methoxycarbonyl, acetoxy, free phenolic hydroxyl, vinyl, nitro, trifluoromethyl, methoxyl, bromo, chloro, iodo, and acetyl groups.
