Abstract
Trityl chloride (triphenylmethyl chloride, TrCl, Ph3CCl) is utilized as an efficient and homogeneous organocatalyst for the synthesis of 14-aryl-14H-dibenzo[a,j]xanthenes from β-naphthol and arylaldehydes under solvent-free conditions. Moreover, a plausible mechanism is suggested based on the literature and on in situ formation of trityl carbocation with inherent instability during the reaction.
