Abstract
A clean and effective method has been developed for the regioselective of O-allylation of phenol derivatives using a recyclable Cu(I)-exchanged multi-size porous material. Ease of preparation of catalyst through simple solid-state exchange and its compatibility in producing excellent amount of O-allylated products and a plausible mechanistic pathway for the regioselectivity are highlighted. This reported procedure is not requiring any external stabilizing ligand for Cu(I) species and further purification of products.
