The reaction of benzyl lithiums is an important aspect in organic and organometallic synthesis. Reported herein are detailed insights into the reactivity of benzyl lithiums as regulated by intermediate structures. By discussing the carbometalation of allylamines and the reaction of the formed benzyl-lithium compounds with electrophiles, the influence of the metal as well as the solvent on the electronic structure of the intermediate is described. This molecular structure strongly influences the reactivity of these intermediates. By choosing the appropriate reaction conditions, the regioselectivity of reactions with electrophiles can be regulated. With trimethylchlorosilane in n-pentane a selective reaction at the para-position takes place. In contrast, selective reaction at the benzylic position, with trimethylchlorostannane in tetrahydrofuran (THF) as a solvent, is accomplished.

Catalytic carbon-carbon bond formation building on reductive coupling is a powerful method for the preparation of organic compounds. The identification of environmentally benign reductants is key for establishing an efficient reductive coupling reaction. Herein an efficient strategy enabling H2 as the sole reductant for the palladium-catalyzed allyl-allyl reductive coupling reaction is described. A wide range of allylamines and allylic alcohols as well as allylic ethers proceed smoothly to deliver the C-C coupling products under 1 atm of H2. Kinetic studies suggested that the dinuclear palladium species was involved in the catalytic cycle.
