A simple cobalt-catalyzed reductive coupling protocol allowing the synthesis of functionalized diarylmethanes from benzyl mesylate is described. The possibility to directly use the benzyl alcohol as a result of a two-step reaction is also presented. This method tolerates a variety of functional groups. A benzyl radical is likely involved.

A convenient procedure employing simple starting materials benzyl alcohols and acetates as the benzyl donors to assemble a series of diarylalkanes through benzylation of arenes using in situ prepared superacid BF3-H 2O as an efficient promoter has been developed. The beneficial role of water in the reaction has been clarified with combination of control experiments and 11B NMR analysis. This reaction is a self-promoted model, which is triggered by the trace of water and continuously promoted by self released by-product water (or carboxylic acid). A wide range of substrates are investigated and the moderate to excellent yields and the good regioselectivities for secondary benzyl alcohols as well as arenes bearing electron-withdrawing groups have been achieved. As a result, moisture in the reaction system has been utilized as an efficient initiator in all benzylation cases.

An efficient and environmentally friendly benzylation of arenes with benzyl ethers as benzyl donors using BF3-Et2O to generate in situ the superacid BF3-H2O as an efficient promotor has been described. A wide variety of functional groups have been investigated and found to be compatible to give the desired diarylmethanes in yields of up to 99%. The crucial role of the moisture content in this transformation has been demonstrated by detailed investigations. This journal is the Partner Organisations 2014.

One step Beyond: The transmetallation reactions of ArB(OH)2 and Ar3B3O3 with Et2Zn are far more complicated than previously supposed, with solvent-dependent equilibria between ArB(OY)2 at one side and [RZn(solv)3][BR4] at the other (see picture). While the role of the highly reactive organozinc cation has not been implicated before, its importance for the activation of an otherwise sluggish class of electrophiles is shown. Copyright
ARYLALKYLATION OF 4-tert-BUTYLTOLUENE WITH SUBSTITUTED BENZYL CHLORIDES

The reaction of 4-alkylbenzyl chlorides with 4-tert-butyltoluene in the presence of titanium tetrachloride and ferric chloride leads to the formation of 2-methyl-4'-alkyl-5-tert-butyldiphenylmethanes.The arylalkylation of 4-tert-butyltoluene with 2- and 4-chlorobenzyl chlorides, catalyzed by titanium tetrachloride, leads to the formation of mixtures of 2-methyl-5-tert-butyldiphenylmethane, 2-tert-butyl-5-methyldiphenylmethane, and isomeric methyldiphenylmethanes containing a chloride atom in the benzyl fragment.The products of the reaction catalyzed by ferric chloride do not contain 2-tert-butyl-5-methylchlorodiphenylmethanes.The reacti on of 4-nitrobenzyl chloride with 4-tert-butyltoluene in the presence of ferric chloride leads to the formation of a mixture of 2-methyl-4'-nitro-5-tert-butyldiphenylmethane and isomeric methylnitrodiphenylmethanes.Under the influence of AlCl3-CH3NO2 in benzene 2,4'-dimethyl-5-tert-butyldiphenylmethane eliminates both the 4-methylbenzyl group and the tert-butyl group.Under analogous conditions 2-methyl-5-tert-butyldiphenylmethanes containing a chlorine atom or a nitro group in the benzyl fragment are dealkylated with the elimination of only the tert-butyl group.
