Alkylidene Transfer from Monochloroalkylmercury(II) Compounds to Aromatic Amines; Selective C-Alkylation

α,α-Diarylalkane derivatives have been synthesized from monochloroalkylmercury(II) compounds in a non-carbenoid alkylidene transfer reaction which takes place selectively on the aromatic ring. A mechanism is suggested for this process. Intermediate products are prepared by alternative routes to asce...

Description
Summary:α,α-Diarylalkane derivatives have been synthesized from monochloroalkylmercury(II) compounds in a non-carbenoid alkylidene transfer reaction which takes place selectively on the aromatic ring. A mechanism is suggested for this process. Intermediate products are prepared by alternative routes to ascertain their participation in the course of the reaction. As a consequence, two different aryl groups can be successively incorporated into the alkane molecule.
