abstract
An efficient Alumina supported CuO catalyzed synthesis of phenols from various arylboronic acids in presence of K₂CO₃ under ligand free condition is reported. This protocol provides a variety of differently substituted phenols by a simple straightforward and efficient methodology in good yields. The explored catalyst is inexpensive, air-stable and recyclable up to three cycles.
