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.
Benzyl chloroformate is commonly used in organic synthesis for the introduction of the benzyloxycarbonyl (formerly called carboxybenzyl) protecting group for amines.The protecting group is abbreviated Cbz or Z (in honor of discoverer Zervas), hence the alternative shorthand designation for benzyl chloroformate as Cbz-Cl or Z-Cl.
Benzyl chloride, or α-chlorotoluene, is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 5 CH 2 Cl. This colorless liquid is a reactive organochlorine compound that is a widely used chemical building block .
2-Chlorobenzoic acid is an organic compound with the formula ClC 6 H 4 CO 2 H. It is one of three isomeric chlorobenzoic acids , the one that is the strongest acid. This white solid is used as a precursor to a variety of drugs, food additives, and dyes.
Benzyl mercaptan is an organosulfur compound with the formula C 6 H 5 CH 2 SH. It is a common laboratory alkylthiol that occurs in trace amounts naturally. It is a colorless, malodorous liquid.
Ethanol (data page) provides detailed information about the chemical properties, physical properties, and safety measures of ethanol.
Benzyl carbamate is the organic compound with the formula C 6 H 5 CH 2 OC(O)NH 2. The compound can be viewed as the ester of carbamic acid (O=C(OH)(NH 2)) and benzyl alcohol, although it is produced from benzyl chloroformate with ammonia. [1] It is a white solid that is soluble in organic solvents and moderately soluble in water.
It can be produced by hydrolysis of 4-chlorobenzal chloride: [2]. ClC 5 H 4 CHCl 2 + H 2 O → ClC 5 H 4 CHO + 2 HCl. It can also be produced by the oxidation of 4-chlorobenzyl alcohol.
