title: Palladium-catalyzed para-selective arylation of phenols with aryl iodides in water.
abstract: Highly para-selective palladium-catalyzed direct arylation of phenols with aryl iodides was demonstrated by taking advantage of the formal inverse direct arylation strategy. A series of 4-aryl phenols were synthesised by employing water as a "green" solvent under mild reaction conditions.
