Diphenylmethanol is an organic compound. Diphenylmethanol′s versatility extends to laboratory applications, where it serves as a reagent and solvent in organic synthesis. The scientific community extensively employs diphenylmethanol due to its broad range of applications in organic synthesis. It plays a pivotal role in synthesizing natural products like flavonoids, terpenoids, and alkaloids. Although the precise mechanism of action of diphenylmethanol remains incompletely understood, it is believed to function as a nucleophile. This property enables it to attack electrophilic centers within organic molecules. As a result, a new covalent bond forms, leading to the creation of a substituted diphenylmethanol product.
