A Reductive Benzylation for Benzenes Using Aroyl Chlorides and Triethylsilane Catalyzed by Aluminosilicate-Stabilized Silyl Cations on Montmorillonite

Abstract

We discovered that the aluminosilicate-stabilized silyl cations, which were created from a solid-acid catalyst, the proton-exchanged montmorillonite, and Et₃SiH, efficiently promoted the reductive benzylation of benzenes with aromatic carboxylic acid chlorides and Et₃SiH in one pot.

Key words

montmorillonite aluminosilicate-stabilized silyl cations - proton-exchanged montmorillonite - benzoyl chlorides - Et₃SiH - benzylation of benzenes - one-pot reaction
