Cheap and cheerful : The direct copper‐catalyzed hydroxylation of activated and unactivated aryl iodides or bromides has been achieved using metal hydroxide salts (MOH). Selective hydroxylation in a H 2 O/co‐solvent system avoids formation of the related biaryl ether by‐product and the low cost of the copper catalytic system makes this method very competitive.
