Benzyl is not to be confused with phenyl with the formula C 6 H 5. The term benzylic is used to describe the position of the first carbon bonded to a benzene or other aromatic ring. For example, (C 6 H 5)(CH 3) 2 C + is referred to as a "benzylic" carbocation. The benzyl free radical has the formula C 6 H 5 CH 2 •.
Benzyl alcohol (also known as α-cresol) is an aromatic alcohol with the formula C 6 H 5 CH 2 OH. The benzyl group is often abbreviated "Bn" (not to be confused with "Bz" which is used for benzoyl), thus benzyl alcohol is denoted as BnOH. Benzyl alcohol is a colorless liquid with a mild pleasant aromatic odor.
In enzymology, a vanillyl-alcohol oxidase (EC 1.1.3.38) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction + O 2 ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } + H 2 O 2 Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are vanillyl alcohol and O 2 , whereas its two products are vanillin and H 2 O 2 .
Anisyl acetate (4-methoxybenzyl acetate) is an acetate ester of anisyl alcohol. It is a naturally occurring flavor found in various fruits and types of vanilla. [1] It is also used as a flavoring agent to produce a flavor profile described variously as sweet, smooth, fruity (cherry or plum) and vanilla or almond. [2]
4-Methylbenzaldehyde is the aromatic aldehyde with the formula CH 3 C 6 H 4 CHO. It is a colorless liquid. It is a colorless liquid. Commercially available, it may be prepared from the Friedel-Crafts formylation of toluene with carbon monoxide and hydrogen chloride under Gattermann-Koch conditions .
