Procedure: To a mixture of 4-bromo-3-chlorophenol (2.5 g), potassium carbonate (2.165 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (26 mL), benzyl chloride (1.8 mL) was added under cooling with ice. Raising the temperature to the ambient level, the system was stirred for 23 hours. The reaction mixture was poured in saturated saline solution and the product was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated saline solution, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Distilling the solvent off, the remaining crude product was purified on silica gel column chromatography (eluent, hexane: ethyl acetate=10:1) to provide 4-benzyloxy-1-bromo-2-chlorobenzene (3.029 g). was added under cooling with ice Raising the temperature to the ambient level The reaction mixture was poured in saturated saline solution the product was extracted with ethyl acetate The organic layer was washed with saturated saline solution dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate Distilling the solvent off, the remaining crude product was purified on silica gel column chromatography (eluent, hexane: ethyl acetate=10:1)

Procedure: Triethylamine (0.52 mL, 3.75 mmol) was added to a mixture of 4-bromo-3-chlorophenol (156 mg, 0.75 mmol), phenyl boronic acid (187 mg, 1.53 mmol), Cu(OAc)2 (208 mg, 1.15 mmol), molecular sieves (4 Å), and dichloromethane (7.5 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight, and then additional phenyl boronic acid (186, 1.53 mmol) was added. The reaction was stirred at rt for an additional 7 h and filtered through Celite with dichloromethane. The filtrate was concentrated and purified by silica gel chromatography (100% hexanes) to give 1-bromo-2-chloro-4-phenoxybenzene (90 mg) as a clear liquid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 7.75 (d, 1H), 7.42-7.47 (m, 2H), 7.27 (d, 1H), 7.23 (t, 1H), 7.11 (d, 2H), 6.92 (dd, 1H). The reaction was stirred at rt for an additional 7 h filtered through Celite with dichloromethane The filtrate was concentrated purified by silica gel chromatography (100% hexanes)
