A novel synthesis of bisheteroarylaryl methanes and triarylmethanes is described by the selective C–C bond cleavage of acetophenones in the presence of SeO2/lanthanide chlorides. The present strategy provides an in situ generation of aldehydes from acetophenones followed by a double Friedel–Crafts reaction of electron-rich arenes. Natural product 1,1,1-tris(3-indolyl)methane is synthesized in a single
