One-pot synthesis of diarylalkylcarbinols and substituted derivatives through carbon monoxide insertion reactions into aryllithiums

The carbonylation of a THF solution of aryllithium (aryl = Ph, o-anisyl) in the presence of an alkyl bromide, RBr; at atmospheric pressure and -78°C, affords diarylalkylcarbinols in good yields. Alkyl chlorides do not react under similar experimental conditions. This feature makes the reaction parti...
