A novel metal‐free process allowing the reductive desulfurization of various benzylic dithioketals to afford diarylmethane and benzylester derivatives with good to excellent yields is reported. At room temperature, this mild reduction process requires only the use of TMSCl and NaI in CH 2 Cl 2 and tolerates a large variety of functional groups.
