Reaction Steps

Octadecyloxytriphenylmethane (C18 Tr-OH) was prepared in a Grignard procedure starting from octadecyloxyphenyl bromide and magnesium in dry THF. Benzophenone was added to the metalorganic compound and the product was hydrolyzed with 2 M HCl. The worked-up reaction mixture was dried, evaporated, and the pure product crystallized from toluene. The trityl alcohol was converted to the trityl chloride by treatment with an excess of acetylchloride.
