Application of activated phenol fluorosulfates as substrates in a Pd/NBE mediated sequential alkylation-arylation, commonly known as a Catellani reaction, is presented. These substrates provide a level of complementarity to the commonly used aryl halides and, in combination with a plethora of existing Catellani reaction variations, enable even wider application of this powerful synthetic tool.
