A simple and efficient alkylation of aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds via the direct SN1-type nucleophilic substitution of benzylic alcohols in the presence of catalytic amounts of the strong Brønsted acid o-benzenedisulfonimide under neat conditions is herein reported. A library of di- and triaryl (and heteroaryl) methanes was prepared in good yields and high regioselectivity. The observed reactivity was shown to be in agreement with Mayr’s nucleophilicity and electrophilicity scales.

Abstract
A simple and efficient alkylation of aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds via the direct SN1-type nucleophilic substitution of benzylic alcohols in the presence of catalytic amounts of the strong Brønsted acid o-benzenedisulfonimide under neat conditions is herein reported. A library of di- and triaryl (and heteroaryl) methanes was prepared in good yields and high regioselectivity. The observed reactivity was shown to be in agreement with Mayr’s nucleophilicity and electrophilicity scales.
