Abstract
The use of S-arylphenothiaziniums, which can be easily synthesized from boronic acids, enables a transition-metal-free O-arylation of alcohols and phenols to provide a variety of aryl ethers. The selective introduction of the aryl substituent into the hydroxy groups in alcohols and phenols is supported by theoretical calculations.
