One-step hydroxylation of aryl and heteroaryl fluorides using mechanochemistry

Abstract

Simple use of KOH allows the direct F to OH exchange of aromatic and heteroaromatic substrates under mechanochemical conditions. The reaction is performed in the absence of solvent with potassium hydroxide as OH source. As a result, this approach is both more atom economical and environmentally friendly than previously described methods for this transformation.
