The transition-metal-free synthesis of unsymmetrical and highly functionalized triarylmethanes through arylation of the situ generated o-QMs from diarylmethyl p-tolyl sulfones with aryl zinc reagents is described. Alkyl zinc reagents are also well tolerated in this reaction. Additionally, the straightforward synthesis of the analogue of the antituberculosis agent A and the key precursor of the anti-breast-cancer agent B are achieved by this strategy.
