We report a catalytic hydroarylation method to convert phenols to dihydrocoumarins in hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) using acid generated from sub-stoichiometric amounts of acetyl chloride as catalyst. Attractive elements include easy set-up and isolation, and applicability to a range of phenols including natural product substrates.
