Abstract
Catalytic amounts of Cu(acac)2 and N,N'-bis(4-hydroxyl-2,6-dimethylphenyl)oxalamide as ligand enable a powerful hydroxylation of (hetero)aryl halides to provide phenols and hydroxylated heteroarenes in very good yields. A wide range of (hetero)aryl chlorides bearing either electron-donating or -withdrawing groups can be converted at 130°C, whereas hydroxylations of bromides and iodides completed at lower temperatures.
