We describe a transition metal-free approach to hindered 3-amino-2-aryl phenols through a cascade nucleophilic addition / Smiles-Truce rearrangement of a functionalized Kobayashi aryne precursor. Under anionic conditions, secondary alkyl amines add to the aryne intermediate to set up an aryl transfer from a neighboring sulfonate group. The use of a sulfonate, rather than the more typical sulfonamide, enables access to phenolic biaryl products that are important motifs in natural products and pha ...[more]
