The deoxygenation of tertiary and secondary alcohols to give the corresponding alkanes is conventionally performed using an organosilane and a strong acid. In this study, a deoxygenation method was developed for tertiary and secondary alcohols, using trimethylsilane and trimethylsilyl iodide generated in situ from sodium borohydride and trimethylsilyl chloride, and trimethylsilyl chloride and potassium iodide, respectively. With our method, tertiary and secondary alcohols, which provided stable carbocations, were converted into the corresponding alkanes. This paper also presents the optimization of the reaction conditions, the reaction mechanism, as well as the scope and limitations of the method.

Apart from the traditional through-bond conjugation (TBC), through-space conjugation (TSC) is gradually proved as another important interaction in photophysical processes, especially for the recent observation of clusteroluminescence from nonconjugated mo

A variety of functionalized triarylmethane and 1,1-diarylalkane derivatives were prepared via a transition-metal-free, one-pot and two-step procedure, involving the reaction of various benzal diacetates with organozinc reagents. A sequential cross-coupling is enabled by changing the solvent from THF to toluene, and a two-step SN1-type mechanism was proposed and evidenced by experimental studies. The synthetic utility of the method is further demonstrated by the synthesis of several biologically relevant molecules, such as an anti-tuberculosis agent, an anti-breast cancer agent, a precursor of a sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator, and a FLAP inhibitor.

Triarylmethane (TRAM) compounds have wide applications such as leuco dyes for sensing tumors and other biological activities. Hydroxyalkylation of arenes with benzaldehyde results in formation of triarylmethane compounds. In the present study, 20 (wt.%) Cs2.5H0.5PW12O40 (Cs-DTP) supported on mesocellular foam (MCF) silica was prepared, characterized and tested for its activity in hydroxyalkylation reaction of anisole with benzaldehyde. Its activity was compared with commercial catalysts like Amberlyst-15, montmorillonite clay K-10, H3PW12O40 and unsupported Cs2.5H0.5PW12O40.The prepared catalyst showed the best activity compared to others with advantage of separation of catalyst and reusability. Reaction parameters were studied in detail and kinetic study was carried out for the said reaction. 20 (wt. %) Cs-DTP/MCF was found to be the best, robust and reusable catalyst. Reaction mechanism and kinetics were also studied. The results are new.
Mechanism of hydride transfer reaction from β-substituted carbanions to a carbocation

Mechanism of hydride transfer reactions to form olefins is still a conundrum. Here, we propose an electron transfer (ET) followed by hydrogen atom transfer (HT) as the most likely mechanism for hydride transfer reactions from the hydride adducts of olefins (G-XH-) to a carbocation (T+) in acetonitrile. This is confirmed by the analysis of the energetics of each mechanistic step, estimated from ΔHH - (the hydride affinity) and redox potentials of the related species, and activation energetics calculated from rate constants of the hydride transfer from G-XH- to T+.
Di- and triarylmethylium ions as probes for the ambident reactivities of carbanions derived from 5-benzylated Meldrum's acid

, p. 11069 - 11077 (2014/10/15)
The kinetics of the reactions of carbocations with carbanions 1 derived from 5-benzyl-substituted Meldrum's acids 1-H (Meldrum's acid=2,2-dimethyl-1,3- dioxane-4,6-dione) were investigated by UV/Vis spectroscopic methods. Benzhydryl cations Ar2CH+ added exclusively to C-5 of the Meldrum's acid moiety. As the second-order rate constants (kC) of these reactions in DMSO followed the linear free-energy relationship lg k=s N(N+E), the nucleophile-specific reactivity parameters N and s N for the carbanions 1 could be determined. In contrast, trityl cations Ar3C+ reacted differently. While tritylium ions of low electrophilicity (E-2) reacted with 1 through rate-determining β-hydride abstraction, more Lewis acidic tritylium ions initially reacted at the carbonyl oxygen of 1 to form trityl enolates, which subsequently reionized and eventually yielded triarylmethanes and 5-benzylidene Meldrum's acids by hydride transfer.

Triarylmethanes, which are valuable structures in materials, sensing and pharmaceuticals, have been synthesized starting from methyl phenyl sulfone as an inexpensive and readily available template. The three aryl groups were installed through two sequential palladium-catalyzed C-H arylation reactions, followed by an arylative desulfonation. This method provides a new synthetic approach to multisubstituted triarylmethanes using readily available haloarenes and aryl boronic acids, and is also valuable for the preparation of unexplored triarylmethane-based materials and pharmaceuticals. Unsymmetric triarylmethanes have been synthesized starting from methyl phenyl sulfone as an inexpensive and readily available template. The three aryl groups were installed through two sequential palladium-catalyzed C-H arylation reactions, followed by an arylative desulfonation. Copyright

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.

Simple and efficient procedure for alkylation of aromatics from alcohols in the presence of NaHSO4/SiO2 was developed. Various triaryl methanes were obtained in good yields in short reaction time. For instance the reaction of mesitylene with benzhydrol in the presence of NaHSO4/SiO2 gave the corresponding triaryl methane in a quantitative yield. NaHSO4/SiO2 was regenerated by simple treatment and could be recycled eight times without activity loss.

experimental part, p. 2995 - 3003 (2010/06/14)
Fe(ClO4)3·×H2O as a highly effective catalyst for benzylation of 1,3-dikones, β-ketoesters, 1,3-diesters, electron-rich arenes and heteroarenes and 4-hydroxycoumarin with various benzylic alcohols is described. The usefulness of this procedure is shown by a synthesis of bis-symmetrical triarylmethanes and one step synthesis of an anti-coagulant compound 4-hydroxy-3-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)-2H-chromen-2-one (Coumatetralyl (B)). The advantages of this protocol are broad scope, mild conditions, use of inexpensive catalyst and simplicity of operation since water is the only side product.
