Under 'open-flask' and mild conditions, arenes condense smoothly with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of catalytic amount of FeCl3. The reaction tolerated a variety of substitutions and functional groups. This method provides a facile and direct access to symmetrical and unsymmetrical triarylmethane derivatives.

arylation of aromatic carbonyl compounds is reported. The use of 4 % FeCl3 or Fe(acac)3 as the catalyst, in combination with a slight excess of chlorotrimethylsilane and triethylsilane, chlorination of benzylic ketones and aldehydes with subsequent Friedel–Craftsalkylation of arenes is achieved. Although the method is limited by the general constraints associated with Friedel–Craftsalkylation reactions
