With the reaction strategies, one can efficiently synthesize important indole derivatives such as 3-(alpha,alpha-diarylmethyl)indoles and chromeno[2,3-b]indoles. Furthermore, we disclose here a new C-C bond-cleavage reaction, in which naphthol and phenol behave as leaving groups to produce diarylmethanes. Inexpensive reagents such as p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate and molecular iodine are used to catalyze the reactions. No metal catalyst is required. The starting material of the reactions, Betti bases, are easily prepared from a three-component reaction of naphthol/phenol, aldehydes, and secondary amines. The mechanisms for the reactions are established through some control experiments. Quinone methide is the key intermediate for all the reactions reported herein.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">20</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.068</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
