A palladium catalysed ortho-halogenation strategy has been developed using benzothiazoles and quinoxalines as the directing substrates. This method provides mono-o-halogenated product at the other available ortho site of a mono-ortho substituted 2-arylbenzothiazole. However, ortho-unsubstituted 2-arylbenzothiazole afforded di-ortho halogenated product exclusively. The preformed (or installed) ortho-group is towards the sulphur side of the benzothiazole from energy minimised calculation. Thus the selective formation of di-ortho-halogenated products is due to favourable exposure of the second ortho site for subsequent halogenation. However the phenyl ring in 2,3-diarylquinoxalines can be selectively mono ortho halogenated. A plausible reaction mechanism has been proposed for this halogenation process.

New fluoro derivatives of aralkylamine compounds, particularly 2-(2-phenyl-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl)benzylamine, as well as the N-alkyl and the N,N-dialkyl derivatives thereof are prepared by reaction of 2-bromobenzonitrile with benzylmagnesium chloride to produce 2'-bromo-2-phenylacetophenone; oxidation of said acetophenone with selenous acid to produce 2-bromobenzil; conversion of the benzil compound by treatment with sulfur tetrafluoride to the corresponding 2-bromo-α ,α-α',α'-tetrafluorobibenzyl; followed by reaction of the 2-bromobibenzyl compound with a metal cyanide to produce the corresponding 2-(2-phenyl-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl)benzonitrile. This nitrile compound is then reduced with lithium aluminum hydride to produce the corresponding benzylamine, which is then converted, if desired, to the N-alkyl and/or N,N-dialkyl 2-(2-phenyl-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl)benzylamine. Alternatively, the nitrile or the precursor bromobibenzyl can be converted by Grignard reactions to the corresponding α-alkyl or α,α-dialkylbenzylamine which can then be converted if desired to the corresponding N-alkyl and/or N,N-dialkyl substituted benzylamine compound. The phenyltetrafluoroethylbenzylamine as well as its N-alkyl and N,N-dialkyl derivatives are active as antiarrhythmic agents.
