Commercially available simple ionic liquids-promoted dehydrative carbon–carbon bond-forming reaction of diarylmethanols and triarylmethanols with pyrroles, thiophene, furan and indoles
bond-forming reaction of a variety of diarylmethanols and triarylmethanols with π-rich heteroaromatics, such as pyrroles, indole, furan, and thiophene without ring-opening and polymerization to give the corresponding not only 2-substituted pyrroles, furan, and thiophene but also 3-substituted indoles in good to excellent yields with moderate to excellent regioselectivities. These dehydrative C–C bond
