摘要
ReCI（CO）5 catalyzed the dehydration reaction of aromatic compounds with 1,3,5-trioxane or aqueous formaldehyde （37 wt%） under air. The reactions of a variety of aromatic compounds beating electron-donating group（s） with 1,3,5-trioxane afforded the corresponding diarylmethanes in moderate to good yields.
