Triphenylmethanol, 98%

Description

Triphenylmethanol is used as a reagent in the research laboratory. It acts as an intermediate in the production of the commercially useful triarylmethane dyes. It is used in the preparation of triphenylmethane. It is also used as an antiproliferative agent. Further, it is used in the preparation of two-electron reduction product of pyrylogen. In addition to this, it reacts with triphenylphosphine oxide to form a 1:1 molecular complex. It serves as a specific clathrate host for methanol and dimethyl sulphoxide and forms clathrate inclusion complexes.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
