An easy process for allylation and benzylation of different carbon materials, primarily of glassy carbon, in acetonitrile solutions containing tetraalkyammonium salts is described. The method relies on the capability of C(sp²) zones of glassy carbon (graphite and fullerene-like inclusions) to be anodically charged at potentials >1.5 V versus Ag/AgCl to form electrophilic centers reacting with substituted trimethylsilanes RSiMe₃. Great propensity of the trimethylsilyl group (TMS⁺) to act as a cationic leaving group facilitates electrophilic reactions of the charged anodic surface with R-carrying silylated precursors, permitting efficient grafting of a large variety of R groups. The present preliminary work focuses only on the efficient grafting of benzyl and allyl moieties.
