Tris(phenylthio)methane is a formylating reagent that reacts with ethyl formate to produce the nitro compound. It is used in the preparation of β-amino acids and as an asymmetric synthesis catalyst. Tris(phenylthio)methane can be used as a polymerization initiator for metathesis reactions, such as the Suzuki reaction. It has been shown to be a good nucleophile and polymerizing agent when combined with hydrochloric acid or silver trifluoromethanesulfonate. Tris(phenylthio)methane may also react with chloride in the presence of base to produce phosphoric acid esters.

6-Chlorohexanol is a fatty alcohol with a hydroxyl group. It is soluble in water and has a phase transition temperature of -114°C. 6-Chlorohexanol can be synthesized by reacting 2,6-dichlorophenol with hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide in the presence of azobenzene. The reaction solution is then heated to about 300°C for 3 hours. 6-Chlorohexanol is used as a model system for studying the photochemical reactions of fatty acids. Hydroxy groups are susceptible to light exposure, which leads to the formation of carbonyl compounds such as malonic acid and chloride monomers.
