Abstract
Abstract Conversion of substituted cyclohexenones into the corresponding phenols can be achieved using copper acetate as the catalyst in the presence of LiBr and CF 3 COOH under oxygen. With the use of excess LiBr, electrophilic aromatic bromination afforded the corresponding bromophenol under similar catalytic conditions.
