1-n-butylpyridinium chloroaluminate serves the dual purpose of a reaction medium and a Lewis acid catalyst for condensation of substituted benzaldehydes with N, N-dimethylaniline to obtain triarylmethanes (leuco bases) in good yields with significant reduction in reaction time and simplification of the workup process.
