novel route to afford 1,1-diarylalkane derivatives from simple and readily available alkyl and aryl halides in good yields and excellent regioselectivities under mild conditions. The procedure shows good tolerance for a broad variety of functional groups and both primary and secondary alkyl halides can be used. Furthermore, the reaction was successfully scaled up to the multigram scale proving the

solution (GAAS), a biobased weakly acidic liquid, was used as an effective promoting medium for organic reactions, such as the Michael addition of indoles to α,β-unsaturated ketones, the electrophilic ring-opening reaction of 3,4-dihydropyran with indoles and Friedel–Crafts alkylation of electron-rich aromatics with benzyl alcohols. The concept of using GAAS as a solvent for organic reactions not only
The general protocol for site-specific alkylation of anilines and phenols would provide an ideal strategy for affording densely functionalized aniline and phenol derivatives. Herein, we disclose a new iridium-catalyzed and acid-promoted process for selective para-alkylation of anilines and phenols using aryloxy or alkoxy aryl alkynes as the alkylated sources, delivering a wide range of para-C-alkylated
Anti-Bredt di(amino)carbene supported gold(I) chloride complexes are readily prepared in two steps from the corresponding isocyanide complexes. In the presence of KB(C6F5)(4) as chloride scavenger, they promote the unprecedented hydroarylation reaction of alkenes with N,N-dialkylanilines with high para-selectivity. The latter are challenging arenes for Friedel-Craft reactions, due to their high basicity.
