Pale orange solid

2,4,6-Triformylphloroglucinol is a highly functionalised and symmetrical building block. 2,4,6-Triformylphloroglucinol contains 3 aldehyde groups which can react with nucleophiles, such as amines or anilines, to make β-ketoenamines. When the nucleophile contains more than one amine group, microporous polymers can be formed. These microporous polymers find a wide range of applications, including carbon dioxide capture.
