Triphenylmethylamine was used to prepare diamondoid porous organic salt.1 It was also used in preparation of N-tritylated β-amino alcohols, useful building blocks in organic synthesis. It is used in the preparation of trityl- cysteine analogs as inhibitors of human mitotic kinesin.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
