RhH(PPh3)4 and 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene catalyze the reaction of aryl/heteroarylmethyl ketones and arylheteroaryl ethers giving unsymmetrical diarylmethanes containing one or two heteroarenes in high yields. The reaction does not use alkali metal bases, and therefore does not form large amounts of metal waste.

di(heteroaryl) ethers were synthesized by the rhodium-catalyzed heteroaryl exchangereaction of heteroaryl aryl ethers and heteroaryl esters at equilibrium. Diverse unsymmetric di(heteroaryl) ethers containing five- and six-membered heteroarenes were obtained. Di(heteroaryl) ethers can be synthesized starting from diaryl ethers, because heteroaryl aryl ethers are obtained by the heteroaryl exchange reaction
