  1. What is the IUPAC name for this compound containing a phenyl …

    Jun 24, 2021 · What is the IUPAC name for the compound $\ce{(CH3)3CCH2CH(Br)C6H5}$? The answer I got myself was (1-Bromo-3,3-dimethylbutyl)benzene, but from looking online most sources list the name as 1-Bromo-3,3-dimethyl-1-phenylbutane, even though the benzene group is supposed to take precedence, right? Why does butane form the suffix and not benzene?

  2. organic chemistry - Phenyl or benzene when naming compounds

    Apr 14, 2015 · First, you are right that "benzyl" is the $\ce{C7H8\bond{~}}$ radical and that "phenyl" is the $\ce{C6H5\bond{~}}$ radical. Second, although "phenol" and "phenyl" sound almost the same, you would probably do well to think of them as entirely separate naming roots. "Phenol" is the simplest aromatic alcohol.

  3. Comparing the stabilities of allylic, benzylic, and tertiary radicals

    Which is the most stable free radical among the given species? (1) $\\ce{CH2=CH-CH2^.}$ (allyl radical) (2) $\\ce{C6H5-CH2^.}$ (benzyl radical) (3) $\\ce{(H3C)3C ...

  4. Reaction of phenol with Zinc dust - Chemistry Stack Exchange

    Mar 7, 2014 · The net result is $\ce{C6H5-OH + Zn -> ZnO + C6H5-H}$, but under the reaction conditions (zinc DUST and strong heating; b.p. of phenol is $\pu{182 ^\circ C}$), I suspect the reaction mechanism involves the zinc surface rather than individual $\ce{Zn}$ atoms or $\ce{Zn^2+}$ ions. And the zinc surface will be a complex oxide.

  6. Basicity comparison of ammonia derivatives (and guanidine)

    May 7, 2018 · $\ce{N(C6H5)3}$ $\ce{NH(CH3)2}$ My answer - 2 > 1 > 4 > 3. Option '2' due to equivalent resonance structures on protonation. Then option '1' due to thrice +I effect. Followed by option '4' having +I effect twice which causes the lone pair electrons to …

  7. organic chemistry - How to determine from the formula that there …

    Aug 1, 2016 · $\ce{C6H5}$ is conventionally used to represent phenyl because it is a common moiety. Your long, highly unsaturated, chain is also $\ce{C6H5}$, but it wouldn't conventionally be written like that without expansion, unless you're setting out to confuse someone.

  8. Is chlorophenylmethane the correct IUPAC name rather than ...

    Jun 28, 2019 · The preferred IUPAC name is, indeed, (chloromethyl)benzene, built from substitutive prefix chloromethyl.The parentheses around "chloromethyl" are required because it is a compound substituent (a simple substituent attached to another simple substituent, specifically, methyl and chloro in this case).

  9. organic chemistry - Reduction of carbonyl compound by LAH (in …

    Jun 8, 2020 · What will be the final product upon reaction of $\ce{CH2=CH-CH2-C6H4-CH=CH-CHO}$ with $\ce{LiAlH4}$ (in dry ether) followed by acidic water?

  10. Does folic acid contain a benzyl or a phenyl group?

    Jun 10, 2021 · On the other hand, the Benzyl function is strictly $\ce{C6H5-CH2}$ or $\ce{Ph-CH2}$. It is debatable to call $\ce{X-C6H4-CH2}$ a benzyl group, unless a definition is given upperhand. Nonetheless, folic acid does not contain either $\ce{C6H5-CH2}$ or $\ce{X-C6H4-CH2}$ , and therefore no argument there for the presence of benzyl group.
