Irradiation of acetonitrile-methanol (1:1) solutions of 1,1,1,2-tetraarylalkanes or 1,1,1-triphenyl-2-methoxyethane containing 1,4-dicyanobenzene led to the formation of triarylmethane and triarylmethyl methyl ethers in good yields.This C-C bond cleavage reaction is thought to proceed via a radical cation intermediate.

Upon UV irradiation in methanol some 1,1,1-triarylalkanes underwent an α,α-elimination of two aryl groups to give biaryls and the corresponding carbene intermediates, which inserted into the OH bond of the methanol to afford methyl ethers and/or underwent a 1,2-H shift to afford olefins.Furthermore, the efficieny of this elimination was highly dependent upon the bulkiness of the alkyl groups.
Photolysis of 1,1,1-triphenylalkanes
Shi,Okamoto,Takamuku
, p. 6709 - 6712 (2007/10/02)
Photolysis of 1,1,1-triphenylalkane in methanol gave biphenyl, 1-methoxy-1-phenylalkane, and 1-phenylalkene. The generation of the carbene intermediate by photo α,α-elimination of two phenyl groups was presumed.
