“…Thanks to the excellent work of Buchwald, , Beller, , You, Ma, − and other groups, , remarkable progress has been made for the Pd- and Cu-catalyzed hydroxylation of aryl halide. − However, the synthetic application of the Pd-catalyzed hydroxylation of aryl halide was limited, particularly for large-scale preparation due to the high cost of Pd catalysts and phosphine ligands. Consequently, the development of the Cu-catalyzed hydroxylation attracted plenty of attention, and it had been demonstrated that a variety of bidentate ligands could successfully promote the transformation in recent years. − ,− Ma and co-workers, especially, recently developed a CuI-mediated hydroxylation of (hetero)aryl halides under mild conditions promoted by a bis-oxalamide ligand and realized the direct hydroxylation of aryl chlorides . In addition, 2-hydroxylcarbazoles could be prepared through an intermolecular ring closure via the nitrene intermediate, Pd(II)-catalyzed C–H bond activation, or Pummerer reaction of sulfinyl compounds .…”
