- Abstract
It was found that benzyl chlorides and bromides could directly react with electron‐rich arenes, which provided an example of promoter‐free and additive‐free benzylation of arenes. A variety of benzyl chlorides and bromides were treated with benzene rings to give the targeted products in low to high yields. The present conditions tolerated the vinyl group of the substrates. Preliminary mechanistic investigation suggests that the present reactions possibly proceed via an autocatalytic mechanism pathway.
