In the presence of a catalytic amount of InCl3-4H2O, trioxane was first used as the methylating agent for multi- methylated aromatic compounds such as pentamethylbenzene, 1,2,4,5-tetramethylbenzene and 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene to afford hexamethylbenzene in fair to high yields.

A facile, efficient and environmentally benign procedure for the synthesis of diarylmethanes via the reaction of arenes with trioxane catalyzed by InCl3*4H2O was developed. The reactions of aromatic compounds bearing electron-donating group proceeded smoothly affording the corresponding diarylmethanes in good to excellent yields.
