Abstract A highly chemoselective method is reported for the aroylation of simple diarylmethane derivatives via direct acyl C–C cleavage with 2-acyl-imidazolium salts under transition metal-free conditions. This represents a straightforward way to access a variety of sterically and electronically diverse 1,2,2-triarylethanones, a class of compounds with biological activities and various applications.
