Abstract

Reaction with formic acid of triarylmethanols containing para-fluorine substituents gives, in addition to the expected triarylmethanes, products in which one fluorine has been replaced by a hydroxy-group; in contrast, pentafluorophenyldiphenylmethanol on similar treatment gives the pentafluorophenyldiphenylmethane together 9-(pentafluorophenyl)-fluorene.
