The first oxidative photocatalytic method for homo-coupling phenols is described and isolated yields of up to 76% are obtained. Additionally, nucleophilic phenols are arene were cross-coupled with easily oxidized phenols improving upon recently reported cross-couplings. Selectivity was high and yields of up to 97% are reported. Finally, the first non-enzymatic catalytic method for coupling tyrosine is revealed. <br/> <br/>
