Reaction of α-methoxyacetic acid with aromatic compounds in the presence of trifluoroacetic anhydride and Lewis acid has been found to give diarylmethanes. Some of the intermediates in this transformation have been identified via direct observation by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The reaction route has been clarified as follows: a mixed acid anhydride is formed from α-methoxyacetic acid and trifluoroacetic anhydride, which gives a hemiacylal type intermediate via decarbonylation followed by successive double electrophilic aromatic substitutions yielding diarylmethanes.
2-Methoxyalkanoic acids were found to undergo consecutive decarbonylative α,α-diarylation in P2O5-MsOH instead of Friedel-Crafts type arylation on the carbonyl carbon. The influence of the substituents of the arenes and the carboxylic acids in this reaction was elucidated based on the reaction yields. The reaction behavior was found to be primarily governed by the electron-withdrawing/releasing property

Functional Ionic Liquids as Efficient and Recyclable Catalysts for the Methylation of Formaldehyde with Aromatics
Methylation of formaldehyde with various aromatics under functionalionicliquids catalysis has been developed. Among the ionicliquids investigated, triphenyl-(4-sulfobutyl)-phosphonium triflate ([TTPBs][CF3SO3]) showed high activity and afforded excellent yields of diarylmethane derivatives. A mechanism for the catalytic performance of [TTPBs][CF3SO3] is proposed. Besides, the catalyst can simply

Gas-chromatographic retention indices on standard nonpolar polydimethylsiloxane stationary phases allow identification of products formed by known organic reactions even without using mass-spectrometric data. The efficiency of this approach was demonstrated by the example of identification of previously uncharacterized chloromethyl derivatives of alkylarenes, including structural isomers of compounds containing several chloromethyl groups, directly in reaction mixtures. Chromatographic analysis of such reaction mixtures allows identification of positional isomers of the starting alkylarenes even when they are present simultaneously. The retention indices were determined for the first time for more than 50 alkyl-(chloromethyl)arenes, by-products of chloromethylation, and chloromethyl derivatives of the simplest alkyl phenyl ketones.
