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.
