Abstract
We developed a novel phosphine-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts reaction of naphthols with para-quinone methides (p-QMs). This reaction provided a promising method for the synthesis of triarylmethanes, which widely exist in natural products and in molecules which have been shown to have biological and pharmacological activity.
