Abstract
TRITYLMETHYL chloride, Ph3C.CH2.Cl, has interesting structural features, especially from the point of view of investigations of reaction mechanism1. We wish to record briefly the preparation, properties and reactions of this compound, and to refer to some related halides. The substance previously listed in the literature2 as tritylmethyl chloride is triphenylchloroethylene, Ph2C=C(Cl)Ph.
