The reaction of N-aminophthalimide derivatives with AlCl3 in benzene has been investigated. From N-amino- and N-benzamidophthalimide (1a and 1b), N-amino- and N-benzamido3,3-diaryl-2,3-dihydroisoindol-1-ones (2) are obtained in high yield by initial attack of benzene on the imide carbonyl, assisted by the neighboring nitrogen atom. From N-arylaminophthalimide derivatives (4), the N-N bond is cleaved heterolytically to give an arylnitrenium ion and canonical forms involving the arene which are trapped by benzene to give aminobiaryls and N-arylanilines.

N-Arylhydroxylamines react with benzene in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) at room temperature to give diphenylamines.When TFA was replaced by a strong acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TFSA), the major products were aminobiphenyls.The nature of the reaction was explored by reactions of 4-substituted phenylhydroxylamines and dialkylaniline N-oxides with benzene.Thus, it was demonstrated that the reactive intermediates are onium-benzenium dications which are trapped by benzene to give aminobiphenyls by a mechanism similar to the Friedel-Krafts alkylation.Further evidence for the proposed reaction mechanism was the observation that nitrosobenzene and azoxybenzene reacted with benzene to give analogous products in the presence of the stronger acid.
