Abstract
Using (phenyl)[2‐(trimethylsilyl)phenyl]iodonium triflate as a precursor of arynes, Larock's method for O‐arylation of carboxylic acids and arynes was developed. A variety of acids including simple aliphatic carboxylic acids, aromatic carboxylic acids, allenoic acids, and p‐toluenesulfonic acid under mild reaction conditions could generate the aryl esters.
