Ethanol (3b) inhibits SN1 reactions of alkyl halides 1 in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) and gives no ethers as products. The unexpected behaviour of alcohols 3 in the reaction of alkyl halides 1 with 1,3-dimethoxybenzene (2) in scCO2 under different conditions is rationalised in terms of Br?nsted and Lewis acid-base equilibria of reagents, intermediates, additives and products in a singular solvent characterised by: (i) the strong quadrupole and Lewis acid character of carbon dioxide, which hinders SN2 paths by strongly solvating basic solutes; (ii) the weak Lewis base character of carbon dioxide, which prevents it from behaving as a proton sink; (iii) the compressible nature of scCO2, which enhances the impact of preferential solvation on carbon dioxide availability for the solvent-demanding rate determining step.

This work reports on a new intermolecular C-C coupling reaction between electron rich arenes and benzylic alcohols or ethers, catalysed by gold(III) salts, or other catalysts such as gold(I) and iron (III), and its application to the regio- and stereoselective synthesis of procyanidins dimers B1 and B3.
Supercritical carbon dioxide: A promoter of carbon-halogen bond heterolysis

Amazing reaction medium: Supercritical carbon dioxide, with zero dipole moment, lower dielectric constant than pentane, and non-hydrogen-bonding behavior, ionizes carbon-halogen bonds, dissociates the resulting ion pairs, and escapes from capture by the carbocation intermediates at temperatures above 40 °C. These properties allow the observation of carbocation chemistry in the absence of acids.
Cationic Iron(III) porphyrin catalyzed dehydrative friedel-crafts reaction of alcohols with arenes
Teranishi, Satoru,Kurahashi, Takuya,Matsubara, Seijiro
supporting information, p. 2148 - 2152 (2013/10/21)
Alcohols react with arenes in the presence of cationic iron(III) porphyrin catalyst. The reaction involves the formation of the C-C bond via dehydration, which is formal Lewis acid catalyzed Friedel-Crafts reaction. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart, New York.
