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
描述了使用用XtalFluor-E原位活化的苯甲醇对芳烃进行的Friedel-Crafts苄基化。在实验上简单温和的条件下,无需过渡金属或强路易斯酸,即可制备各种1,1,1-二芳基甲烷和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可能诱导苄醇的C-OH键电离和S N 1反应性。
