A variety of functionalized triarylmethane and 1,1-diarylalkane derivatives were prepared via a transition-metal-free, one-pot and two-step procedure, involving the reaction of various benzal diacetates with organozinc reagents. A sequential cross-coupling is enabled by changing the solvent from THF to toluene, and a two-step SN1-type mechanism was proposed and evidenced by experimental studies. The synthetic utility of the method is further demonstrated by the synthesis of several biologically relevant molecules, such as an anti-tuberculosis agent, an anti-breast cancer agent, a precursor of a sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator, and a FLAP inhibitor.
The Reduction of Fluorine-containing Triarylmethanols by Formic Acid
Andrews, Adrian F.,Mackie, Raymond K.,Walton, John C.

Triarylmethanols containing one or more fluorine substituents in the para-positions are converted by 90 percent formic acid into a mixture of the fluorine-containing triarylmethane, and a second component in which one fluorine has been replaced by a hydro
