This study aims to report the first gallium-catalyzed direct reduction of benzylic alcohols using isopropanol as a reductant. The reaction proceeds via gallium catalyst-assisted hydride transfer of the in situ-generated benzylic isopropyl ether. The method generates only water and acetone as byproducts and thus provides an atom-economic and environmentally friendly approach to the synthesis of di- and triarylmethanes, which are important substructures in various bioactive compounds and functional materials.

The mono-4-R-triphenylmethyl radicals 1, 8b-f, R = tBu, CF3, COMe, COPh, CN, Me, or their quinonoid dimers 4, 9b-f are prepared, most of them for the first time.The degree of dissociation of the latter at 25 deg C is surprisingly high (=/ 33percent, 0.01 M), donors and acceptors being effective here likewise.ESR data are given and discussed.
