Triphenylmethanol is a chemical compound from the group of alcohols and triphenylmethane derivatives .

Extraction and presentation

Triphenylmethanol can be obtained by reacting benzophenone with phenylmagnesium bromide .

It is also formed during the oxidation of triphenylmethane.

properties

Triphenylmethanol is a colorless solid that is insoluble in water; impure products are beige in color. When dissolved in concentrated sulfuric acid , an intensely yellow colored solution is formed by the formation of a triphenylmethyl carbocation.

use

Triphenylmethanol is used in numerous chemical syntheses and is the base of triphenylmethane dyes . For example, it can with acetyl chloride to trityl be implemented, which the introduction of the trityl - protecting group used.
