Phenylacetic acid (conjugate base phenylacetate), also known by various synonyms, is an organic compound containing a phenyl functional group and a carboxylic acid functional group. It is a white solid with a strong honey-like odor. Endogenously, it is a catabolite of phenylalanine.
Phenylacetic, 3-phenylpropanoic and 3-phenylpropenoic acids are found in propolis, mammalian exocrine secretions or plant fragrances. During a systematic study of the lipids from seeds of the plant Araceae, [1] the presence of 13-phenyltridecanoic acid as a major component (5-16% of total fatty acids)was discovered. Other similar compounds but ...
The synthesis of phenylacetic acid determined by retrosynthetic analysis is thus: PhCH 2 Br + NaCN → PhCH 2 CN + NaBr PhCH 2 CN + 2 H 2 O → PhCH 2 COOH + NH 3. In fact, phenylacetic acid has been synthesized from benzyl cyanide, [9] itself prepared by the analogous reaction of benzyl bromide with sodium cyanide. [10]
2-Nitrophenylacetic acid is an organic compound used in organic synthesis that has also been used as an herbicide. It is a derivative of phenylacetic acid, containing a phenyl functional group, a carboxylic acid functional group, and a nitro functional group.
4-Bromophenylacetic acid may be prepared by the addition of a bromine atom to phenylacetic acid through electrophilic aromatic substitution.It was first prepared in the laboratory by treatment of phenylacetic acid with bromine and mercuric oxide; a mixture of the 2- and 4- isomers is made, and the 4- isomer is isolated by fractional crystallization.
Benzyl cyanide undergoes many reactions characteristic of nitriles. It can be hydrolyzed to give phenylacetic acid [7] or it can be used in the Pinner reaction to yield phenylacetic acid esters. [8] Hydrogenation gives β-phenethylamine. [9] The compound contains an "active methylene unit". Bromination occurs gives PhCHBrCN. [10]
This is a list of Latin words with derivatives in English language. Ancient orthography did not distinguish between i and j or between u and v. [1] Many modern works distinguish u from v but not i from j. In this article, both distinctions are shown as they are helpful when tracing the origin of English words. See also Latin phonology and ...
Some traditional names for common carboxylic acids (such as acetic acid) are in such widespread use that they are retained in IUPAC nomenclature, [7] though systematic names like ethanoic acid are also used. Carboxylic acids attached to a benzene ring are structural analogs of benzoic acid (Ph−COOH) and are named as one of its derivatives ...
