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.

gollark: Yeeees.
gollark: JS will actually let you get away with this, too:```javascriptif (window.containsBees) console.log("bee contamination detected") console.log("initiating quarantine")```
gollark: They are optional.
gollark: Yes, this is much better:```javascriptfunction produceApioform() {let apioform = "apio"apioform += Math.random() > 0.5 ? "hazard" : "form"return apioform}```
gollark: I did make a thing for Fibonacci indentation.
