Triphenylethanol, or 1,1,2-triphenylethanol, is an organic compound with a condensed structural formula of (C6H5)2C(OH)CH2C6H5, and is related to triphenylethylene, from which it can be prepared by hydration. It is the structural analog of two drugs, the never-marketed antiestrogen ethamoxytriphetol (MER-25)[1]:7 and the withdrawn lipid-lowering agent triparanol,[2] as both contain the 1,1,2-triphenylethanol moiety within their structure.

There are three isomeric compounds with a "triphenylethanol" structure:

  • 1,1,2-triphenylethanol;
  • 1,2,2-triphenylethanol, with a condensed structural formula of (C6H5)2CHCH(C6H5)OH, which exists as a pair of enantiomers; and,
  • 2,2,2-triphenylethanol, with a condensed structural formula of (C6H5)3CCH2OH.
