Chemistry & industry
Uses & manufacturing
General Manufacturing Information
Benzene, 1,1',1''-(chloromethylidyne)tris-: ACTIVE
TRIARYL CHLOROALKANE IMPROVED ADHESION OF FAST-SETTING POLYURETHANE PREPOLYMER TO TISSUE.
Applications
UsesTrityl Chloride is an alkyl halide commonly used in organic synthesis to introduce the trityl protecting group. Trityl Chloride is used in the preparation of S-trityl-L-cysteine (STLC), a tight-bindin g inhibitor of Eg5 that prevents mitotic progression.
Preparation methods
PreparationTriphenylmethyl Chloride may be prepared by the reaction of triphenylmethanol with acetyl chloride, or by the Friedel–Crafts alkylation of benzene with carbon tetrachloride to give the trityl chloride-aluminium chloride adduct, which is then hydrolyzed.
