Iodine is shown to be an efficient catalyst for the Friedel–Craftsalkylation of arenes with a wide variety of aldehydes in toluene under ‘open-flask’ and mild conditions. In the presence of 10 mol % of iodine, the reaction of arenes with aromaticaldehydes gives the corresponding triarylmethane derivatives (TRAMs), regioselectively, in good to excellent yields. On the other hand, a series of diarylalkane
An efficient and practical synthesis of triaryl and trisindolylmethanes is reported via the bisarylation of aryl aldehydes with activated arenes. The new method features mild solvent-free reaction conditions, in most cases nearly stoichiometric reagent ratios, catalytic amount of the readily available, easily-handled, recoverable and reusable Brønsted acid catalyst o-benzenedisulfonimide.
Reaction of electron-rich arenes with acetyl bromide and aldehydes in the presence of silica gel-supported zinc bromide was carried out in benzene to give selectively the corresponding triarylmethanes or 9,10-diarylanthracenes in high yields depending upon the ratio of an arene and an aldehyde. The mild conditions employed are especially noteworthy.

Reactions of arenes and heteroarenes with aromatic aldehydes proceeded smoothly in the presence of a catalytic combination of [Ir(COD)Cl](2)-SnCl4 to afford the corresponding triarylmethane derivatives (TRAMs) in high yields. This 100% TRAM selective transformation is clean and eliminates the use of acid systems.

A versatile acid-catalyzed method for the preparation of symmetrically and unsymmetrically Substituted 9,10-diphenyl-anthracenes is explored. Diveratrylmethanes are prepared and converted into 10-plenylanthracene-9-carbaldehydes by Lewis acid catalysis and into 9-phenylacridines by reduction. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
