The alkylation of naphthalene using halogen derivatives may be achieved under very simple conditions by the Friedel-Crafts reaction. The products are obtained by irradiation of the paste containing the reaction mixture and a small quantity of nitromethane to initiate the reaction.

Herein, the first example of gold-catalyzed benzylation of (hetero)aryl boronic acids with (hetero)benzyl bromides to give the corresponding cross-coupling products in moderate to good yields is reported. The reaction proceeds through a possible intermolecular SN2-type reaction pathway to give a wide variety of di(hetero)arylmethanes as the desired products. An intriguing reaction mechanism has been proposed on the basis of control experiments, 31P-NMR spectroscopic detection and DFT calculations.
Efficient N-heterocyclic carbene nickel pincer complexes catalyzed cross coupling of benzylic ammonium salts with boronic acids
Liu, Xi-Yu,Zhu, Hai-Bo,Shen, Ya-Jing,Jiang, Jian,Tu, Tao

Pyridine-bridged bis-benzimidazolylidene nickel complexes exhibited very high catalytic activity toward cross coupling of inactive (hetero)aryl benzylic ammonium salts with (hetero)aryl and alkenyl boronic acids under mild reaction conditions. Even at 2 mol% catalyst loading, a wide range of substrates for both coupling partners with different steric and electronic properties were well tolerated.
Friedel-crafts benzylation of activated and deactivated arenes
Schaefer, Gabriel,Bode, Jeffrey W.
supporting information; experimental part, p. 10913 - 10916 (2012/01/02)
NO going back makes possible facile Friedel-Crafts benzylations with moderate reaction temperatures, simple reaction workups, and improved substrate scope for the formation of synthetically important diarylmethanes (see scheme). Upon complexation with BF3?OEt2, hydroxamates serve as reversible leaving groups that stabilize highly reactive carbocations. Even deactivated arenes and electron-deficient benzylhydroxamates react cleanly under these conditions.
