Herein, we present a versatile method for synthesizing unsymmetrical diarylmethanes and diarylketones from aldehydes arenes. This involves: (1) regioselective Ar-H alkylation to form benzhydrylphosphonium salts via one-pot, four-component reaction with simple reagents (2) chemoselective reductions or oxidations of the benzylic C-P bond. Notably, D2O yield fully deuterated diarylmethanes. high-yielding, straightforward approach offers valuable building blocks enables novel transformations academic pharmaceutical research.
