Description

Trityl chloride is an organic compound that has high chemical stability. It is mainly used as a reagent in organic synthesis and polymer chemistry. Trityl chloride reacts with alkanoic acids to form esters by the reaction of the acid chloride with alcohols. Trityl chloride reacts with trifluoroacetic acid to form carboxylic acid chlorides, which are often used as chiral synthons in asymmetric synthesis. The coordination geometry of the trityl ligand is octahedral and it binds to metal cations through three oxygen atoms and two adjacent nitrogen atoms. The polymer compositions can be chiral due to the presence of chiral trityl groups, which can lead to different physical properties such as solubility or melting point.
