Ortho-lithiated tertiary benzamides. Chain extension via o-toluamide anion and general synthesis of isocoumarins including hydrangenol and phyllodulcin
We report here the intermolecular metal-free addition reaction of functionalized benzylhalides to aldehydes using a super electron donor (SED). The metal-free and mild conditions allowed the formation of 3,4-dihydroisocoumarins and 1,2-diarylethanols with unprecedented functional group tolerance.

3-methoxybenzoyl chloride, followed by demethylation gave 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)isocoumarin (3b). Reaction of (3b) with α-tetraacetobromo glucose yielded tetraacetylhomalicine (3d), which was deacetylated to homalicine (3e).

The synthesis of α-benzylic alcohols, functionalized isochromanones, 1,2-oxy alcohols and 1,2-thio alcohols has been successfully achieved by employing a dual catalytic method combining chromium chemistry and photoredox catalysis. This presents a methodology under mild conditions with high functional group tolerance.
Addition of Benzyl Halides to Aldehydes and Imines Using Photoactivated TDAE: Access to 3,4-Dihydroisocoumarins, 1,2-Diarylethanols, and 1,2-Diarylcarbamates under Metal-Free Conditions
We describe herein the intermolecular addition reaction of benzylhalides to aldehydes and imines using photoactivated tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene (TDAE) as superphotoreductant. 3,4-Dihydroisocoumarins, 1,2-diarylethanols, and 1,2-diarylcarbamates were obtained with good functional group tolerance using simple, mild, and metal-free conditions.

The behavior of phthalan (1a) was investigated under conditions of electron transfer from alkali metals in aprotic solvents. Reaction with lithium in the presence of a catalytic amount of naphthalene in THF led to the reductive cleavage of an arylmethyl carbon-oxygen bond, with formation of a stable dilithium compound. Trapping of this intermediate with several electrophiles (alkyl halides, carbonyl derivatives, CO2) was successful. The extension of this procedure to several substituted phthalans (1b-i) was investigated, and the regiochemistry as well as the synthetic usefulness of these reactions are discussed.
