Derivatives of Triphenylmethane

Triphenylmethane is a colorless solid hydrocarbon with the formula (C6H5)3CH. It consists of a central CH group surrounded by three phenyl groups. Triphenylmethane can be synthesized via Friedel-Crafts reactions and is the basic skeleton for many synthetic dyes called triarylmethane dyes. One such derivative is Brilliant Green, which has the molecular formula C27H34N2O4S and molecular weight of 482.6 g/mole. Brilliant Green is used topically to prevent infections but can cause serious injuries if it contacts the eye and induces vomiting if ingested.
