Abstract

A new mild and efficient method for the deoxygenation of diarylmethanols is reported. The reaction employs catalytic hydrochloric acid in ethanol at reflux for 48 h. This reaction works on a variety of diarylmethanol substrates and mitigates the need for expensive and toxic reagents such stannanes and silanes used in alternative procedures. In addition, this reaction can be used in tandem with the deprotection of acid-sensitive silyl ether ...
