Gallic acid efficientlycatalyses radical arylations in water–acetone at room temperature. This
methodology proved to be versatile and scalable. Therefore, it constitutes a greener alternative to arylation. Moreover, considering that gallic acid is an abundant vegetable tannin, this work also
unleashes an alternative method for the reutilisation of bio-wastes.
