Abstract
The oxidative-addition reaction between an arylmethyl chloride (RCH2 Cl; R=1-C10 H7 , 2,4,6-Me3 C6 H2 , 4-MeC6 H4 , 3-MeC6 H4 , C6 H5 , 4-ClC6 H4 ) and tin powder in boiling toluene produces bis(arylmethyl)tin dichlorides, [(RCH2 )2 SnCl2 ] in good yields. At 160 °C in mesitylene bis(1-naphthylmethyl)tin dichloride undergoes Sn-C homolytic cleavage to generate two 1-naphthylmethyl radicals (1-C10 H7 CH2 ⋅) which were trapped by TEMPO (C9 H8 NO⋅). Subsequently, the radicals (RCH2 ⋅) produced in this manner were utilized for efficient substitution reactions with electron-rich arenes (R'H; R'=2,4,6-Me3 C6 H2 , 1,2,4,5-Me4 C6 H, 1,2,3,4,5-Me5 C6 ) to obtain a variety of unsymmetrical diarylmethanes (RR'CH2 ). The addition of one equivalent of iodine (I2 ) to the reaction mixture resulted in a significant increase in the yields of coupled products.

Abstract
An unprecedented benzylic C-H functionalization of methyl arenes across unactivated alkenes is presented. In the presence of MnCl2·4H2O and di- tert-butyl peroxide, N-allyl anilines underwent benzylation/cyclization cascade to give benzylated indolines, which are a previously unmet synthetic goal. This protocol features simple operation, broad substrate scope, and great exo selectivity.

Green, Mild, and Efficient Friedel-Crafts Benzylation of Scarcely Reactive Arenes and Heteroarenes under On-Water Conditions. CHEMSUSCHEM 2019; 12:1673-1683.

Abstract
Metal-free Friedel-Crafts benzylation (FCB) of scarcely reactive arenes and heteroarenes was performed under on-water conditions by an environmentally sustainable procedure. The catalytic strategy exploits the hydrophobicity of the resorcinarene macrocycle 1 a. The proposed mechanism is based on the activation of benzyl chloride by H-bonding interactions with catalyst 1 a. In fact, under on-water conditions the hydrophobic amplification of the strength of the H-bonding interactions between the OH groups of the resorcinarene catalyst and the chlorine atom of benzyl chloride leads to polarization of the C-Cl bond, which consequently promotes electrophilic attack of the π nucleophile. Thus, many arenes and heteroarenes were efficiently benzylated under mild on-water conditions by using resorcinarene 1 a as catalyst. The FCB of benzene is industrially relevant for the synthesis of diphenylmethane, and hence the on-water procedure was extended to the gram-scale synthesis of diphenylmethane, starting from benzene and benzyl chloride in the presence of resorcinarene catalyst 1 a.
