A series of amides, lactams, carbamates, ureas and anilines, equipped with various functionalities, were readily N-alkylated with the 4,4’-dimethoxybenzhydryl residue by reaction with 4,4’-dimethoxybenzhydrol [bis(4-methoxyphenyl)methanol] in acetic acid, at room temperature, under H2SO4 catalysis.
