The modification of benzylic quaternary, tertiary, and secondary carbon centers through palladium-catalyzed hydrogenolysis of C(sp3)–C(sp3) σ bonds is presented. When benzyl Meldrum's acid derivatives bearing quaternary benzylic centers are treated under mild hydrogenolysis conditions – palladium on carbon and atmospheric pressure of hydrogen – aromatics substituted with tertiary benzylic centers and Meldrum's acid are obtained with good to excellent yield. Analogously, substrates containing tertiary or secondary benzylic centers yield aromatics substituted with secondary benzylic centers or toluene derivatives, respectively. Furthermore, this strategy is used for the high yielding synthesis of diarylmethanes. The scope of the reductive dealkylation reaction is explored and the limitations with respect to steric and electronic factors are determined. A mechanistic analysis of the reaction is described that consisted of deuterium labelling experiments and hydrogenolysis of enantioenriched derivatives. The investigation shows that the C(sp3)–C(sp3) σ bond-cleaving events occur through a hybrid SN1/SN2 mechanism, in which the palladium center displaces a carbon-based leaving group, namely Meldrum's acid, with inversion of configuration, followed by reductive elimination of palladium to furnish a C?H bond.

The kinetic relationships governing the alkylation of aromatic hydrocarbons by allyl chloride and allyl bromide in the presence of sulfuric acid were studied.It was established that the reactivity of the aromatic hydrocarbons varies in relation to the "activity" of the allyl halides in the order allyl chloride > allyl bromide > propylene.
