We discovered that the aluminosilicate-stabilized silyl cations, which were created
from a solid-acid catalyst, the proton-exchanged montmorillonite, and Et3SiH, efficiently promoted the reductive benzylation of benzenes with aromatic carboxylic
acid chlorides and Et3SiH in one pot.
Key words
montmorillonite aluminosilicate-stabilized silyl cations - proton-exchanged montmorillonite
- benzoyl chlorides - Et
3SiH - benzylation of benzenes - one-pot reaction
