Dehydrative direct arylations of arenes with phenols via ruthenium-catalyzed C-H and C-OH bond functionalizations.
Phenols can be employed as proelectrophiles in operationally simple ruthenium-catalyzed dehydrative direct arylations, proceeding through chemo- and regioselective functionalizations of C-H and C-OH bonds.
