Abstract

Abstract Upon UV irradiation in benzene–methanol (1:2) tetraarylmethanes or 3-(triarylmethyl)pyridines underwent an α,α-elimination of two aryl groups to give biaryls or 3-arylpyridine, and two corresponding carbene intermediates. The latters afforded methyl ethers by the O–H insertion to methanol.
