Introduction | Diphenylmethane is an aromatic hydrocarbon, this compound can be regarded as the product of the substitution of two hydrogen atoms in methane by phenyl. Diphenylmethane is the basic skeleton of many compounds in organic chemistry. It can be prepared by the Friedel-Crafts reaction of benzyl chloride and benzene under the catalysis of Lewis acid such as aluminum trichloride: C6H5CH2Cl C6H6 → (C6H5)2CH2 HCl |
apply | white crystal or crystalline powder of dextrocamphorsulfonic acid. It can be used as a resolution agent and a catalyst for dipeptide coupling; used for the resolution of pharmaceutical intermediates or isomer products; used in the pharmaceutical industry; organic synthesis intermediates. |
use | used for organic synthesis, and also used as a reagent for determination of mercury and a gas chromatography stationary liquid diphenylmethane has the ability to fix fragrance and can be used in a small amount in medium and low-grade daily necessities, especially in soap essence with its rose-like geranium flavor, which can be used in human roses, new grass, fragrant myrtle and various types, it is also used to prepare artificial geranium oil. It can be well mixed with dimethyl hydroquinone, coumarin, and hydroxycitronellal, and it can also be coordinated with peach, Rubus and other fruity aromas. Diphenylmethane can be used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, and the pharmaceutical industry is used to produce diphenhydramine hydrochloride. in the perfume industry, diphenylmethane can be used as a substitute for geranium oil, suitable for preparing soap essence and perfume, etc. It is also used in dye production, as well as a reagent for mercury determination and a gas chromatography stationary liquid. |
Production method | It is obtained by the reaction of benzyl chloride and benzene under the catalysis of aluminum amalgam (or anhydrous aluminum trichloride, or zinc chloride). First, the dried benzene and aluminum amalgam are heated, then benzyl chloride is slowly introduced, refluxed for 2 hours, cooled and stirred with water, let stand to remove water, the rest is washed with 5% lye, washed with water, and finally distilled under reduced pressure to obtain the finished product. |
