Substituted phenols were anodically coupled to the corresponding 2,2′‐biphenols via tetraphenoxy borate derivatives. This electrochemical method is particularly useful for methyl‐substituted substrates, such as 2,4‐dimethyl phenol. The selective ortho ‐coupling reaction can be easily performed on a multikilogram scale.
