This paper presents a highly efficient and sustainable synthesis of triarylmethanes through the dehydrative coupling of p-quinols with diaryl carbinols. The catalyst used in this protocol is the in situ generated superacid BF3-H2O from BF3-OEt2. Moisture is used as an efficient initiator in this reaction system, and various diaryl carbinols and p-quinols have been found to be compatible, yielding triarylmethanes with up to 96% yield.
In this paper, a highly efficient and sustainable synthesis of triarylmethanes through the dehydrative coupling of p-quinols with diaryl carbinols is presented. The catalyst involved in this protocol is in situ generated superacid BF3-H2O from BF3-OEt2. Therefore, moisture has been used as an efficient initiator in this reaction system. A variety of diaryl carbinols and p-quinols have been investigated and found to be compatible to give the triarylmethanes in yields up to 96%.
