A catalytic intermolecular amination of nonactivated tertiary C(sp3)-H bonds (BDE of 96 kcal·mol-1) is reported for substrates displaying an activated benzylic site (BDE of 85 kcal·mol-1). The tertiary C(sp3)-H bond is selectively functionalized to afford α,α,α-Trisubstituted amides in high yields. This unusual site-selectivity results from the synergistic combination of Rh2(S-Tfpttl)4, a rhodium(II) complex with a well-defined catalytic pocket, with tert-butylphenol sulfamate (TBPhsNH2), which leads to a discriminating rhodium-bound nitrene species under mild oxidative conditions. This catalytic system is very robust, and the reaction was performed on a 50 mmol scale with only 0.01 mol % of catalyst. The TBPhs group can be removed under mild conditions to afford the corresponding NH-free amines.

Cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential electrolysis were employed to study the catalytic reduction of five phenyl-conjugated haloalkynes by nickel(I) salen electro-generated at carbon cathodes in dimethylformamide containing tetramethylammonium tetrafluoroborate. Electrocatalytic reduction of 7-bromo- and 7-iodo-1-phenyl-1-heptyne affords the carbocyclic product, benzylidenecyclohexane, in up to 41 % yield, whereas under similar conditions reduction of 5-halo-1-phenyl-1-pentyne and 8-bromo-1-phenyl-1-octyne gives benzylidenecyclobutane and benzylidenecycloheptane, respectively, in very low yield (≤1 %). Dimers, alkynes, and alkenynes are other products formed from the phenyl-conjugated haloalkynes. Dimers (diphenylalkadiynes) derived from 5-halo-1-phenyl-1-pentyne and 8-bromo-1-phenyl-1-octyne are obtained in yields ranging from 85 to 93 %, whereas 1,14-diphenyltetradeca-1,13-diyne (the dimer produced from 7-halo-1-phenyl-1-heptyne) is found in yields of 45-51 %. To account for the formation of the various products, a mechanistic scheme that involves phenyl-conjugated alkynyl radicals arising from nickel(I) salen catalyzed cleavage of the carbon-halogen bond of each substrate was formulated.

Photolysis of 1,1,1-triphenylalkane in methanol gave biphenyl, 1-methoxy-1-phenylalkane, and 1-phenylalkene. The generation of the carbene intermediate by photo α,α-elimination of two phenyl groups was presumed.
