Cinnamides ArCHCHCONRR′ in reactions with arenes Ar′H under the action of Bronsted (TfOH, FSO3H) or Lewis (AlBr3) superacids at rt for 1-2 h give CC bond hydroarylation products ArAr′CHCH2CONRR′ in yields of 63-98%. Reduction (LiAlH4/Et2O) of carbonyl group in the latter results in the formation of 3,3-diarylpropylamines ArAr′CHCH2CH2NRR′, valuable drugs. The reaction intermediates, superelectrophilic dications ArC+H-CH2C(OH+)NRR′, have been characterized by DFT calculations in terms of global electrophilicity index, natural charges, and atomic orbitals contributions.

4-Aryl-azetidin-2-ones (β-lactams) undergo ring opening with triflic acid to give cinnamamides which, in benzene, react further to give 3-aryl-3-phenyl-propionamides. Prolonged reaction times in benzene give 3,3-diphenyl-propionamide via an aryl/phenyl ex
