Abstract
The direct oxidative acylation of phenols with N-heteroarylmethanes via sp3C–H and sp2C–H double activation was achieved under metal-free conditions. The reaction proceeds in a facile I2/DMSO/O2 system regio-selectively to produce valuable (2-hydroxyphenyl)arylmethanones. A plausible mechanism was proposed.
