Abstract
We describe a general and efficient transition-metal free C-C bond cross-coupling of (hetero)aryl ethers and diarylmethanes via C(sp2)-O bond cleavage. The coupling reactions mediated by KHMDS proceeded well with high efficiency, broad substrate scope, and good functional group tolerance. The robustness and practicability of this protocol also have been demonstrated by easy gram-scale preparation and diversified product derivatization.

Abstract
We describe a general and efficient protocol for the synthesis of organophosphine compounds from phenols and phosphines (R2PH) via a metal-free C-O bond cleavage and C-P bond formation process. This approach exhibits broad substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance. The synthetic utilities of this protocol were demonstrated by the synthesis of chiral ligands via the various transformations of cyano groups and their applications in asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
A general method for the demethylation, debenzylation, and deallylation of aryl ethers using HPPh2 and tBuOK is reported. The reaction features mild and metal-free reaction conditions, broad substrate scope, good functional group compatibility, and high chemical selectivity towards aryl ethers over aliphatic structures. Notably, this approach is competent to selectively deprotect the allyl or benzyl group, making it a general and practical method in organic synthesis.

We have developed a Brønsted acid catalysed highly ortho-selective functionalization of free phenols with readily available N,O-acetals under mild conditions, furnishing various corresponding aminomethylated phenol products in moderate to excellent yields. The salient features of this transformation include mild conditions, good substrate scope, excellent ortho-selectivity, high efficiency, and ease of further transformation.
