The Friedel-Crafts benzylation of arenes using benzyl alcohols activated in situ with XtalFluor-E is described. A wide range of 1,1-diarylmethanes and 1,1,1-triarylmethanes were prepared under experimentally simple and mild conditions, without the need for a transition metal or a strong Lewis acid. Notably, the reactivity observed demonstrates the potential of XtalFluor-E to induce C-OH bond ionization and SN1 reactivity of benzylic alcohols.
本文描述了使用 XtalFluor-E 原位激活的苄醇进行芳基的 Friedel-Crafts 苄基化反应。在实验条件简单温和的条件下,无需过渡金属或强酸,制备了广泛的 1,1-二芳基甲烷和 1,1,1-三芳基甲烷。值得注意的是,观察到的反应性表明 XtalFluor-E 具有诱导 C-OH 键电离和苄醇 SN1 反应性的潜力。
