An Efficient Synthesis of Phenols via Oxidative Hydroxylation of Arylboronic Acids Using (NH4)2S2O8

A mild and efficient method for the ipso-hydroxylation of arylboronic acids to the corresponding phenols was developed using (NH4)2S2O8 as an oxidizing agent. The reactions were performed under metal-, ligand-, and base-free conditions.
