Benzyl and phenyl are two common organic compounds that are often confused with each other. Both compounds contain a benzene ring, but there are important differences between them in terms of their chemical structure and properties. In this essay, we will explore the difference between benzyl and phenyl in detail. What is Benzyl? Benzyl is a functional group, consisting of a benzene ring, attached to a CH2 group. Its chemical formula is C6H5CH2–. Benzyl is a monovalent radical derived from toluene. The abbreviation "Bn" is used to represent the benzyl group. For example, the benzyl alcohol can be marked ...

Introduction Various types of organic reactions are used in synthesising different organic compounds termed as organic reaction. These chemical reactions help to derive various important organic products which are further helpful in different pharmaceutical and industrial productions. These reactions are carried out by various processes like, addition, substitution, and some other reactions. Chemical Reactions: Definition Chemical reactions are simply associated with the mixing of two different chemical compounds that helps in deriving a final product. The substances involved in the reactions are called reactants and the resulting material is called the product. Chemical reactions are utilised in every course ... Read More

Introduction Phosphorylation can be assumed as one of the essential reactions of biochemical in which the molecules of phosphate are added to some organic mixture with the desire of making it functional for several positions in a living being. Another corresponding word is phosphorylate, which also represents the opening of a phosphoryl group into an organic compound. What is Phosphorylation? Phosphorylation is one of the significant reactions which even have significance in biology due to various biological procedures depending on the reactions like apoptosis, proliferation, and regulation of metabolism, inflammation, and subcellular trafficking. In addition to this, phosphorylation in biology ... Read More

Introduction Benzene is a colourless organic compound, although it resembles a pale-yellow liquid at room temp. It has the chemical formula $\mathrm{C_{6}H_{6}}$. Especially in comparison to addition reactions, it is very cooperative in electrophilic substitution reactions. This could be because benzene starts to lose its aromaticity throughout most of the addition reactions. Because it has a pair of delocalized electrons which spans all of the C atoms within the ring, it has a high binding affinity for electrophiles while also being extremely stable to electrophilic substitutions. Whenever benzene has been involved, the electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction includes 3 important stages. ... Read More
