A simple, iron-based catalytic system allows for the inter- and intramolecular arylation of unactivated secondary alcohols. This transformation expands the substrate scope beyond the previously required activated alcohols and proceeds under mild reaction conditions, tolerating air and moisture. Furthermore, the use of an enantioenriched secondary alcohol provides an enantioenriched product for the intramolecular reaction, thereby offering a convenient approach to nonracemic products.
Novel reductive Friedel-Crafts alkylation of aromatics catalyzed by indium compounds: Chemoselective utilization of carbonyl moieties as alkylating reagents

Reductive Friedel-Crafts alkylation of aromatics with ketones or aldehydes was characteristically catalyzed by indium compounds in preference to general catalysts like AlCl3 and BF3, where hydrosilanes would play an important role both as a hydride donor and as a co-catalyst. Chemoselective utilization of ketone moieties as alkylating reagents took place even in the presence of halogen, ester or ether moieties which are very susceptible under traditional Friedel-Crafts conditions. Discussion on a plausible intermediate was carried out by some controlled experiments.
