The oxidative photocatalytic method for phenol-phenol homo-coupling and cross-coupling is described and isolated yields of 16-97% are obtained. Measured oxidation potentials and computed nucleophilicity parameters support a mechanism of nucleophilic attack of one partner onto the oxidized neutral radical form of the other partner. Understanding of this model permitted development of cross-coupling reactions between nucleophilic phenols/arenes and easily oxidized phenols with high selectivity and ...[more]
