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

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.

The development of general and more atom-economical catalytic processes for Friedel-Crafts alkylations of unactivated arenes is an important objective of interest for the production of pharmaceuticals and commodity chemicals. Ferroceniumboronic acid hexafluoroantimonate salt (1) was identified as a superior air- and moisture-tolerant catalyst for direct Friedel-Crafts alkylations of a variety of slightly activated and neutral arenes with stable and readily available primary and secondary benzylic alcohols. Compared to the use of classical metal-catalyzed alkylations with toxic benzylic halides, this methodology employs exceptionally mild conditions to provide a wide variety of unsymmetrical diarylmethanes and other 1,1-diarylalkane products in high yield with good to high regioselectivity. The optimal method, using the bench-stable ferroceniumboronic acid salt 1 in hexafluoroisopropanol as cosolvent, displays a broader scope compared to previously reported catalysts for similar Friedel-Crafts reactions of benzylic alcohols, including other boronic acids such as 2,3,4,5-tetrafluorophenylboronic acid. The efficacy of the new boronic acid catalyst was confirmed by its ability to activate primary benzylic alcohols functionalized with destabilizing electron-withdrawing groups like halides, carboxyesters, and nitro substituents. Arene benzylation was demonstrated on a gram scale at up to 1 M concentration with catalyst recovery. Mechanistic studies point toward the importance of the ionic nature of the catalyst and suggest that factors other than the Lewis acidity (pKa) of the boronic acid are at play. A SN1 mechanism is proposed where ion exchange within the initial boronate anion affords a more reactive carbocation paired with the non-nucleophilic hexafluoroantimonate counteranion.
Synthesis of functionalized diaryl alkancs from azines
Manih, Rudolf M.,Myrboh, Bekington
experimental part, p. 146 - 151 (2009/12/01)
Substituted diaryl alkanes arc synthesized from bcnzalazines and acctophenone/propiophenone azines via Friedel Craft's reaction with substituted mono- and poly-nuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. Diaryl methanes/ethanes and propanes are obtained by reaction with benzalazine, N,N'-bis (I-phenyl) azine and N, N'-bis (I-propyl) azine, respectively.
The nitromethane initiator of the Friedel-Crafts naphthalene reaction using microwaves
Bratulescu,Le Bigot,Delmas
, p. 3309 - 3313 (2007/10/03)
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.
