TLDR
In this article, the synthesis of dibenzofurans from diphenyl ethers by non-phenolic oxidative coupling, u.v. irradiation, and by reaction with palladium(II) acetate has been investigated.
Abstract
The synthesis of dibenzofurans from diphenyl ethers by non-phenolic oxidative coupling, u.v. irradiation, and by reaction with palladium(II) acetate has been investigated. 9-Isopropyl-6-methyl-3-pentyldibenzofuran-1-ol (cannabifuran)(35), a minor cannabis constituent, has been synthesized by annulation of 4-isopropyl-7-methylbenzofuran-2-carbaldehyde (28) by Wittig reaction with 2-carboxy-1-ethoxycarbonylethyltriphenylphosphorane and ring closure and functional-group modification of the resultant (E)-4-(4-isopropyl-7-methylbenzofuran-2-yl)-3-methoxycarbonylbut-3-enoic acid (29).

Palladium-catalyzed C–O bond formation: direct synthesis of phenols and aryl/alkyl ethers from activated aryl halides

TL;DR: In this article, a simple and efficient palladium-catalyzed carbon-oxygen bond formation was reported, which offers a direct transformation of aryl halides to phenols, as well as straightforward application to generate a wide variety of diaryl or alkyl/aryl ethers.

Biaryl-bridged Schiff base complexes of zirconium alkyls: synthesis structure and stability

TL;DR: In this article, three substituted salicylaldimine derivatives H2L1-3 of 2,2′-diamino-6,6′-dimethylbiphenyl give, under appropriate conditions, isolable alkyls of zirconium [ZrL1−3R2] (R=CH2Ph, CH2But).
