Abstract The hydroarylation of styrenes with various arene (heteroarene) compounds using H-β-zeolite as a green and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst under mild reaction conditions has been developed. The catalyst showed versatility and high selectivity (up to 100%) of desired 1, 1-diarylalkanes in cyclohexane as solvent under the conditions studied. The catalyst could be reactivated by simple treatment with mineral acid at room ...
