Triphenylmethanol (also known as triphenylcarbinol TrOH) is an organic compound. It is a white crystalline solid that is insoluble in water and petroleum ether but well soluble in ethanol diethyl ether and benzene. In strongly acidic solutions it produces an intensely yellow color due to the formation of a stable trityl carbocation. Many derivatives of triphenylmethanol are important dyes.
