supporting information, p. 3911 - 3914 (2018/07/22)
A catalytic, metal-free intramolecular rearrangement of benzyl phenyl ethers using nitrosonium salt as a catalyst is described. The optimized reaction conditions enabled a catalytic and metal-free Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction with benzylic alcohols, producing water as the stoichiometric byproduct. A comprehensive scope (>50 examples) for both approaches and application in drug synthesis were demonstrated. Mechanistic studies suggest a Lewis acid-based mechanism for the metal-free Friedel-Crafts reaction.

A highly efficient Bi(OTf)3-catalyzed benzylation of arenes and heteroarenes has been developed. The mild reaction conditions, high yields, operational simplicity and practicability, broad scope, and remarkably low catalyst loading render this environment friendly process an attractive approach to diarylmethane derivatives. The extension to an intramolecular variant of this procedure provides a valuable route to substituted fluorenes.
BENZYLPHENOL DERIVATIVES AS ANTIOXIDANTS FOR AUTOXIDATION OF TETRALIN.

A series of 4-benzylphenols, 2-methyl-4-benzylphenols, 4-methyl-2-benzylphenols and 4-methoxy-2-benzylphenols have been prepared and evaluated as antioxidants for tetralin at 60 degree C by means of an oxygen-absorption method. Very good activities have been observed with a series of 4-methoxy-2-benzylphenols. The electrochemical oxidation potentials of these compounds were determined using linear-sweep voltammetry. The antioxidative activities were found to correlate with both the **1**3C NMR chemical shifts ( delta ) of the ipsocarbon of the OH substituents and their peak potentials (E//p).
