The acid-catalyzed benzylic and allylic alkylation of protic nucleophiles is fundamentally important for the formation of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds, and it is a formidable challenge for benzylic and allylic amine derivatives to be used as the alkylating agents. Herein we report a highly efficient benzylic and allylic alkylation of protic carbon and sulfur nucleophiles with sulfonamides through double Lewis acid catalyzed cleavage of sp3 carbon-nitrogen bonds at room temperature. In the presence of a catalytic amount of inexpensive ZnCl2-TMSCl (TMSCl: chlorotrimethylsilane), 1,3-diketones, β-keto esters, β-keto amides, malononitrile, aromatic compounds, thiols, and thioacetic acid can couple with a broad range of tosylactivated benzylic and allylic amines to give diversely functionalized products in good to excellent yields and with high regioselectivity. Furthermore, the cross-coupling reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with benzylic propargylic amine derivatives has been successfully applied to the one-step synthesis of polysubstituted furans and benzofurans.

The electron-acceptor properties of series of related sulfides and disulfides were investigated in N,N-dimethylformamide with homogeneous (redox catalysis) and/or heterogeneous (cyclic voltammetry and convolution analysis) electrochemical techniques. The electron-transfer rate constants were determined as a function of the reaction free energy and the corresponding intrinsic barriers were determined. The dependence of relevant thermodynamic and kinetic parameters on substituents was assessed. The kinetic data were also analyzed in relation to corresponding data pertaining to reduction of diaryl disulfides. All investigated reductions take place by stepwise dissociative electron transfer (DET) which causes cleavage of the Calkyl-S or S-S bond. A generalized picture of how the intrinsic electron-transfer barrier depends on molecular features, ring substituents, and the presence of spacers between the frangible bond and aromatic groups was established. The reduction mechanism was found to undergo a progressive (and now predictable) transition between common stepwise DET and DET proceeding through formation of loose radical anions. The intrinsic barriers were compared with available results for ET to several classes of dissociative- and nondissociative-type acceptors, and this led to verification that the heterogeneous and the homogeneous data correlate as predicted by the Hush theory.
Synthesis of (p-Nitroaryl)diarylmethanes via vicarious nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen

(p-Nitroaryl)diarylmethanes are readily prepared via vicariousm nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen in nitroarenes with carbanions of diarylmethyl p-chlorophenyl sulfide. These carbanions are efficient reagents for introduction of diarylmethyl substituents in the para position of nitroarenes via the VNS reaction. The reaction does not proceed ortho to the nitro group due to steric hindrances on the addition step.
