Molecular iodine-catalyzed benzylation of arenes with benzyl alcohols
摘要:
A novel molecular iodine-catalyzed benzylation of arenes with benzyl alcohols has been developed. The reaction can be carried out under mild conditions to afford a series of diarymethane derivatives in high yields and good regioselectivities. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
