Substituent effects on the reaction of trityl chlorides with Grignard reagents

The result of the substitution of trityl chlorides with Grignard reagents was found to be highly dependent on the solvent and the nature of the substituents on the trityl group. In THF, electron donating substituents were found to give high yields of Grig

Photolysis of 1,1,1,2-Tetraarylalkanes in the Presence of 1,4-Dicyanobenzene. A Photochemical C-C Bond Cleavage Reaction of Radical Cations in Solution

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.
