Description

4-Diphenylmethylcarbinol is an organic compound that is a primary alcohol. It can be synthesized by the hydrogenolysis of biphenyl. 4-Diphenylmethylcarbinol has been used in the Raney-type process for the production of aluminum from bauxite and as a catalyst in the dehydrating reaction. This compound has also been used as a reagent for the synthesis of enantiomers and as a solvent for acetonitrile. The transfer of 4-diphenylmethylcarbinol to benzene, chlorobenzene, and phenanthrene has been studied.
