para-Selective hydroxylation of alkyl aryl ethers is established, which proceeds with a ruthenium(II) catalyst, hypervalent iodine(III) and trifluoroacetic anhydride via a radical mechanism. This protocol tolerates a wide scope of substrates and provides a facile and efficient method for preparing clinical drugs monobenzone and pramocaine on a gram scale.
