The partial exchange of tin with the protons of 12-tungstophosphoric acid (TPA) results in a highly active heterogeneous catalyst for benzylation of arenes with benzyl alcohol as benzylating agent. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Laser-Raman and FT-IR of pyridine adsorption. The catalytic activity depends significantly on the extent of tin exchanged with the protons of heteropoly tungstate. The characterization results suggest the presence of Lewis acidic sites by the exchange of tin. The catalyst with partial exchange of Sn showed high benzylation activity, which in turn related to variation in acidity of the catalysts. The catalyst is highly active for benzylation reaction irrespective of the nature of substituted arenes and benzyl alcohols. These catalysts are highly active compared to other acid catalysts used for benzylation of different arenes. The catalyst is easy to separate from reaction mixture and exhibit consistent activity upon reuse. The plausible reaction mechanism based on the role of both Lewis and Bronsted acid sites of the catalyst was discussed.
Efficient and selective alkylation of arenes and heteroarenes with benzyl and allyl ethers using a Ir/Sn bimetallic catalyst

A high-valent heterobimetallic catalyst namely [Ir2(COD)2(SnCl3)2(Cl)2(μ-Cl)2] (5 mol %), or dual catalyst system of [Ir(COD)Cl]2 (1 mol %) and SnCl4 (4 mol %), promotes the benzylation or allylation of arenes and heteroarenes using ethers as the alkylating agents. An electrophilic mechanism is proposed from a Hammett correlation.

The present invention relates to compounds and pharmaceutical compositions which are proteomimetic and to methods for inhibiting the interaction of an alpha-helical protein with another protein or binding site. Methods for treating diseases or conditions which are modulated through interactions between alpha helical proteins and their binding sites are other aspects of the invention.
Uncatalyzed Friedel-Crafts alkylation of aromatic compounds through reactive benzyl cations generated from N-sulfamoylcarbamates

(Matrix presented) A new method for the generation of highly reactive benzyl cations by thermal decomposition of aryl-benzyl-sulfamoylcarbamates, obtained in a one-pot reaction from chlorosulfonyl isocyanate, is described. The generated cations alkylate aromatic compounds efficiently in the absence of catalysts.
