To examine the assembly methodology of diarylmethanes, a benzylation of (hetero)arenes with benzyl halides has been developed and various diarylmethanes were furnished with yields of up to 98% and regioselectivities of up to >99%. The complexation of the by-product halogen hydride with BF3·OEt2 generated the Bronsted acid BF3·HX (HBF3X, X=Cl or Br) in situ to synergistically promote the benzylation.

An efficient and environmentally friendly benzylation of arenes with benzyl ethers as benzyl donors using BF3-Et2O to generate in situ the superacid BF3-H2O as an efficient promotor has been described. A wide variety of functional groups have been investigated and found to be compatible to give the desired diarylmethanes in yields of up to 99%. The crucial role of the moisture content in this transformation has been demonstrated by detailed investigations. This journal is the Partner Organisations 2014.

Upon treatment with Fe(CO)5 in an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent aromatic acid chlorides gave a mixture of triarylmethane and tetraarylethane.The reaction may proceed via benzaldehyde and diarylmethanol intermediates.A free radical mechanism is proposed.
