The electrophilic organofluorophosphonium catalyst [(C6F5)3PF][B(C6F5)4] is shown to effect benzylation or alkylation by aryl and alkyl CF3 groups with subsequent hydrodefluorination, thus resulting in a net transformation of CF3 into CH2-aryl fragments. In the case of alkyl CF3 groups, Friedel-Crafts alkylation by the difluorocarbocation proceeded without cation rearrangement, in contrast to the corresponding reactions of alkyl monofluorides.

The invention discloses a synthetic method of diarylmethanes. The method is characterized in that benzyl pseudohalide and aromatic boric acid are reacted in an organic solvent under alkaline condition. The method employs easily available raw materials, conversion is realized under effect of no transition metal catalysis, water-free and oxygen-free are not required, Lewis acid catalysis is not required, the method has wide substrate universality, and various substituted diarylmethanes can be synthesized by the method.

We report herein a transition-metal-free coupling reaction of arylboronic acids with benzyl halides and mesylates for the construction of C(sp2)[sbnd]C(sp3) bonds. A unique feature of this coupling reaction is the formation regioisomers in some cases. Mechanistic studies suggest that this reaction may proceed via an unprecedented Friedel–Crafts-type reaction pathway under base conditions with the assistance of boronic acid moiety.
