Abstract
In the Friedel-Crafts condensation of diaryl carbinol with substituted phenols, the use of chlorotrimethylsilane (CTMS) as catalyst, leads to the formation of triarylmethanes under mild conditions. 6-Methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-ol under similar condition, on condensation with o-cresol, gives 1-(4-hydroxy-3-methyl phenyl)-6-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene.
