An unprecedented zinc triflate catalyzed selective C-benzylation of anilides and heteroaryl amides with benzyl chlorides having electron-donating group at para-position is reported. The protocol offers moderate to high yield of para-amido substituted diaryl and arylheteroarylmethanes, uses cheap and easily available benzyl chlorides as the benzylating agent, catalytic amount of zinc triflate, and takes place under ambient conditions. Aminodiarylmethane derivatives can be obtained by hydrolysis of the corresponding amides. The methodology has also been applied for preparing dimethoxydiarylmethanes in good yields, which are the key precursors for synthesis of phenolic natural products.

A nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of benzyl alcohols with aromatic bromides has been developed. This deoxygenative cross-coupling occurs under mild reaction conditions at ambient temperature affording diarylmethanes, or 1,3-diarylpropenes from benzyl allyl alcohols. The system demonstrated good chemoselectivity tolerating an assortment of reactive functional groups.
