Abstract
A convenient, practical and highly efficient one-pot method has been developed for the synthesis of triaryl- and triheteroarylmethane derivatives by Bi(OTf)3-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts alkylation of trialkyl orthoformates in combination with a wide variety of arenes/heteroarenes at room temperature under solvent-free conditions and in an air atmosphere. The methodology offers an operational simplicity, high atom economy and environmentally benign procedure. Furthermore, selected compound 3k showed promising anti-inflammatory activity with inhibition nitric oxide and did not exhibit significant cytotoxic effects on macrophage cells.
