title: Direct functionalization with complete and switchable positional control: free phenol as a role model.
abstract: PhenAll: Recent breakthroughs in site-selective and direct functionalization of free phenols by transition-metal-catalyzed C-O or C-H bond activation are highlighted here as role models for the complete and switchable positional control of transformations of important core structures.
