122triphenylethane

122triphenylethane is an organic compound with the chemical formula C20H18. Its structure consists of an ethane backbone where three phenyl groups are attached to the same carbon atom. Specifically, two phenyl groups are attached to one carbon of the ethane molecule, and the third phenyl group is attached to the other carbon. This arrangement results in a molecule with significant steric hindrance due to the bulky phenyl substituents. The compound is a derivative of ethane and is characterized by its high degree of aromatic substitution. It is typically a solid at room temperature. Information regarding its synthesis, physical properties, and reactivity is available in chemical literature, often in the context of organic synthesis studies involving substituted ethanes or reactions of phenyl-containing compounds. It is not a widely encountered substance in everyday life and its applications are primarily within specialized areas of chemical research.
