, p. 2135 - 2142 (2016/03/15)
Easily reachable electron-poor/rich primary and secondary benzylic phosphates are suitably used as substrates for Friedel-Crafts benzylation reactions with only 1.2 equiv activated/deactivated arenes (no additional solvent) to access structurally and electronically diverse polyarylated alkanes with excellent yields and selectivities at room temperature. Specifically, diversely substituted di/triarylmethanes are generated within 2-30 min using this approach. A wide number of electron-poor polyarylated alkanes are easily accomplished through this route by just tuning the phosphates.

A practical and convenient approach for the secondary C(sp3)-H arylation of diarylmethanes with various fluoroarenes is described. The reaction proceeds smoothly in the presence of LDA (lithium diisopropylamide) at room temperature and affords triarylmethanes in moderate to high yields.

A convenient procedure employing simple starting materials benzyl alcohols and acetates as the benzyl donors to assemble a series of diarylalkanes through benzylation of arenes using in situ prepared superacid BF3-H 2O as an efficient promoter has been developed. The beneficial role of water in the reaction has been clarified with combination of control experiments and 11B NMR analysis. This reaction is a self-promoted model, which is triggered by the trace of water and continuously promoted by self released by-product water (or carboxylic acid). A wide range of substrates are investigated and the moderate to excellent yields and the good regioselectivities for secondary benzyl alcohols as well as arenes bearing electron-withdrawing groups have been achieved. As a result, moisture in the reaction system has been utilized as an efficient initiator in all benzylation cases.

Rates of hydride transfer from several hydride donors to benzhydrylium ions have been measured at 20 °C and used for the determination of empirical nucleophilicity parameters N and sN according to the linear free energy relationship log k20 °C=sN(N+E). Comparison of the rate constants of hydride abstraction by tritylium ions with those calculated from the reactivity parameters sN, N, and E showed fair agreement. Therefore, it was possible to convert the large number of literature data on hydride abstraction by tritylium ions into N and sN parameters for the corresponding hydride donors, and construct a reactivity scale for hydride donors covering more than 20 orders of magnitude.
Microwave-assisted nafion-H catalyzed friedel-crafts type reaction of aromatic aldehydes with arenes: Synthesis of triarylmethanes
Prakash, Surya G. K.,Fogassy, Gabriella,Olah, George A.
experimental part, p. 155 - 159 (2011/01/04)
A new solid acid Nafion-H, a perfluorinated sulfonic acid resin, catalyzed microwave-assisted synthesis of triarylmethanes is described. Various benzaldehydes react readily with arenes to provide the corresponding triarylmethanes in good to excellent yields. The reactions were carried out under solvent free conditions under microwave irradiation in a pressure vessel. The solvent free microwave irradiation methods appears to be an environmentally friendly synthetic protocol providing products in significantly shorter reaction times over traditional heating methods carried out in a pressure tube.

A polyradical consisting of alternating triarylamine and perchlorotriphenylmethyl radical moieties was synthesized by Horner-Emmons reaction. This compound is the first polymeric neutral mixed-valence compound that shows an intervalence charge transfer (I
Structural requirements for decarbonylative α,α-diarylation reaction of 2-methoxyalkanoic acids in phosphorus pentoxide-methanesulfonic acid mixture yielding 1,1-diarylalkane homologs
Yonezawa, Noriyuki,Hino, Tetsuo,Tokita, Yoshimi,Matsuda, Kazuhisa,Ikeda, Tomiki
, p. 14287 - 14296 (2007/10/03)
2-Methoxyalkanoic acids were found to undergo consecutive decarbonylative α,α-diarylation in P2O5-MsOH instead of Friedel-Crafts type arylation on the carbonyl carbon. The influence of the substituents of the arenes and the carboxylic acids in this reaction was elucidated based on the reaction yields. The reaction behavior was found to be primarily governed by the electron-withdrawing/releasing property of the α-substituents on the carboxylic acids as well as the positive species-accepting ability of the arenes. The steric hindrance was shown to participate in determining the reaction feasibility as a secondary factor.
