Abstract

The direct aromatic sp2 C− H benzylation of azole compounds with benzyl carbonates proceeds efficiently in the presence of a Pd2 (dba) 3/dppp catalyst system and NaOAc as a base to afford the corresponding diarylmethanes in good yields. In addition, the same palladium catalyst enables the direct benzylic sp3 C− H benzylation with the second benzyl carbonates without employing any external base.
