Description

Triphenylmethane is a colorless, crystalline organic compound with the formula (C6H5)3CH. It is the parent compound of a large class of dyes, including malachite green, fuchsine, and crystal violet. Triphenylmethane can be synthesized by the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene with chloroform in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, such as aluminum chloride. Triphenylmethane is used as a reagent in organic synthesis and is also a precursor to several important dyes and pigments. It is studied for its properties as a photochromic material and for its potential use in organic electronics.'

triphenylmethane : A triarylmethane in which the three aryl groups are phenyl. It forms the basic skeleton of several synthetic dyes.
