Cross-couplings between benzylic and aryl halides "on water": synthesis of diarylmethanes.

Chem. Commun. (Camb.) 46(4) , 562-4, (2010)

A remarkably simple entry to unsymmetrical diarylmethanes has been developed that relies on an in situ organozinc-mediated, palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling. Thus, by mixing a benzyl and aryl halide together in the presence of Zn metal and a Pd catalyst, di...
