Benzoin (/ ˈ b ɛ n z oʊ. ɪ n / or /-ɔɪ n /) is an organic compound with the formula PhCH(OH)C(O)Ph. It is a hydroxy ketone attached to two phenyl groups. It appears as off-white crystals, with a light camphor-like odor. Benzoin is synthesized from benzaldehyde in the benzoin condensation.
Benzoin (resin), a balsamic resin obtained from the bark of several species of trees in the genus Styrax; Benzoin aldolase, an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction benzoin to benzaldehyde; Benzoin condensation, a reaction between two aromatic aldehydes; Benzoin odoriferum or Lindera benzoin, a shrub in the laurel family
Parent compound Structural formula of parent compound Letters and numbers in the parent compound Structural formula of the benzocompound Benzocompound ; Anthracene: Benzo[a]anthracene: by adding four extra carbon atoms to the parent compound, the leftmost upper ring is formed.
In organic chemistry, the benzoin addition is an addition reaction involving two aldehydes (−CH=O). The reaction generally occurs between aromatic aldehydes or glyoxals ( OCH=CHO ), [ 1 ] [ 2 ] and results in formation of an acyloin ( −C(O)CH(OH)− ).
ɪ k /) is a white (or colorless) solid organic compound with the formula C 6 H 5 COOH, whose structure consists of a benzene ring (C 6 H 6) with a carboxyl (−C(=O)OH) substituent. The benzoyl group is often abbreviated "Bz" (not to be confused with "Bn," which is used for benzyl ), thus benzoic acid is also denoted as BzOH, since the benzoyl ...
In organic chemistry, benzoyl (/ ˈ b ɛ n z oʊ ɪ l /, BENZ-oh-il) [1] is the functional group with the formula −COC 6 H 5 and structure −C(=O)−C 6 H 5. [2] [3] It can be viewed as benzaldehyde missing one hydrogen. The benzoyl group has a mass of 105 amu. The term "benzoyl" should not be confused with benzyl, which has the formula − ...
The Stetter reaction is a reaction used in organic chemistry to form carbon-carbon bonds through a 1,4-addition reaction utilizing a nucleophilic catalyst. [1] While the related 1,2-addition reaction, the benzoin condensation, was known since the 1830s, the Stetter reaction was not reported until 1973 by Dr. Hermann Stetter. [2]
Benzoyl peroxide is a chemical compound (specifically, an organic peroxide) with structural formula (C 6 H 5 −C(=O)O−) 2, often abbreviated as (BzO) 2.In terms of its structure, the molecule can be described as two benzoyl (C 6 H 5 −C(=O)−, Bz) groups connected by a peroxide (−O−O−).
