Abstract
Desilylative acetoxylation of (trimethylsilyl)arenes can be performed in the presence of 5 mol % of Pd(OAc)2 and PhI(OCOCF3)2 (1.5 equiv) in AcOH at 80°C for 17 h providing acetoxyarenes in very good yields. The synthetic utility is demonstrated with a one-pot transformation of (trimethylsilyl)arenes to phenols by successive acetoxylation and hydrolysis.
