Abstract

The ionic hydrogenation of diarylcarbinols by triethylsilane, in the presence of catalytic amount of triflic acid proceeds via dibenzhydryl ethers. These ethers do not disproportionate to benzophenones and diphenylmethanes but are reduced by triethylsilane to diarylmethanes. Key words: catalytic reduction, benzhydrols, dibenzhydryl ethers, triethylsilane.
