title: Ni-catalyzed reduction of inert C-O bonds: a new strategy for using aryl ethers as easily removable directing groups.
abstract: An efficient Ni-catalyzed protocol for the reductive cleavage of inert C-O bonds has been developed. The method is characterized by its simplicity and wide scope, thereby allowing the use of aryl ethers as easily removable directing groups in organic synthesis.
