Triphenylmethyl chloride or trityl chloride (TrCl) is a white solid with the chemical formula C19H15Cl. It is an alkyl halide, sometimes used to introduce the trityl protecting group.

Preparation[]

Triphenylmethyl chloride is commercially available. It 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.[3]

Reactions[]

Triphenylmethylsodium can be prepared from trityl chloride dissolved in an aprotic solvent and sodium:[4]

(C6H5)3CCl + 2 Na → (C6H5)3CNa + NaCl

Reaction with silver hexafluorophosphate gives triphenylmethyl hexafluorophosphate.
