This manuscript describes the application of Re2O7 to the syntheses of diarylmethanes from benzylic alcohols through solvolysis followed by Friedel-Crafts alkylation. The reactions are characterized by broad substrate scope, low catalyst loadings, high chemical yields, and minimal waste generation. The intermediate perrhenate esters are superior leaving groups to chlorides and bromides in these reactions. The polarity and water sequestering capacity of hexafluoroisopropyl alcohol are critical to the success of these processes. Re2O7 is a precatalyst for HOReO3, which serves as a less costly and easily handled promoter for these reactions. Oxorhenium catalysts selectively activate alcohols in the presence of similarly substituted acetates, indicating a unique chemoselectivity and mechanism in comparison to Br?nsted acid catalysis.

In this study, anthracenes were efficiently synthesized from o-alkynyldiarylmethane using a novel method that exploits the synergistic effect between Bi(OTf)3 as the catalyst, and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). Through this reaction, we achieved the rapid and efficient synthesis of anthracenes bearing various functional groups under mild conditions.

Golden tendencies: The title reaction for synthesizing cyclopentenone derivatives utilizes a gold complex and 8-methylquinoline oxide as the catalyst system (see scheme; IPr=1,3-bis(diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene). Such products are not attainable using diazocarbonyl reagents, as the gold carbenoids tend to react with C-H bonds. Copyright
