Selective activation of CH bond of phenol in ortho-position into COH bond in a two-phase system

A method for the selective activation of CH bond of phenol in ortho-position into C-OH bond was developed at room temperature over Cu2+ ions in a two-phase system using marginally water-soluble polar alcohols, acetonitrile and water as solvents and hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant. In a homogeneous...
