1-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-1-[4-(1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyl)phenyl]-1-phenylmethyl chloride
1-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-1-[4-(1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyl)phenyl]-1-phenylmethyl chloride (CAS 865758-37-8; C30H20ClF17O; molar mass 754.91 g/mol), also known as F17 MMT Cl, is a fluorous-tagged 4-methoxytrityl chloride supplied as a solid of >90% assay. The perfluorodecyl chain gives it an Rf (fluorous) tag, so it serves chiefly as a protecting-group reagent and building block in fluorous-phase organic synthesis. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a research-grade reagent worldwide.

Fluorous protecting-group reagent
As a fluorous analogue of 4-methoxytrityl (MMT) chloride, it introduces a fluorous trityl (Rf-tag) onto hydroxyl, amine and thiol functions. The tag enables selective separation of tagged intermediates by fluorous solid-phase extraction or fluorous chromatography.
Rf-tagged building block for fluorous synthesis
It is used as a tagged precursor in fluorous (Rf-tagged) synthesis strategies, where the heptadecafluorodecyl chain provides the fluorous handle for purification and phase tagging in multistep sequences.
Specialty and library synthesis
The reagent supports specialty organic synthesis and parallel or library work where fluorous tagging simplifies separation of products from reagents and by-products. Typical applications protect an acid-labile group that can later be removed under mild acidic conditions.
Research and method development
Supplied as a research-grade reagent, it is suited to laboratory-scale synthesis, methodology studies and process development that employ fluorous-phase techniques.
