Product Information

• Name: 2,2,2-Triphenylacetophenone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,2,2-Triphenylacetophenone (TPAP) is an insoluble organic compound that is soluble in organic solvents. It can be prepared from phenol by the reaction of acetophenone with benzoyl chloride. TPAP has a high dielectric constant and is used as a solvent for polymers. This compound is also used as a hydrogen bond acceptor in the functional theory of acids and bases. The chemical structure of TPAP contains two electron-donating nitrogens that form a hydrogen bond with the anions found in polar solvents such as water or alcohols. These bonds are often responsible for the solubility of TPAP in these solvents. In addition, TPAP's functional groups allow it to participate in many organic reactions, including nucleophilic substitution reactions and oxidation reactions that produce chlorine atoms as byproducts.
