title: D-Glucose as green ligand for selective copper-catalyzed phenol synthesis from aryl halides with an easy catalyst removal.
abstract: With the growing demand of environmentally friendly reagents for organic reactions, for the first time the utility of D-glucose as a ligand in its direct form has been described using a typical example of copper-catalyzed coupling reaction for phenol synthesis with a high degree of selectivity and easy catalyst removal.
