Organic Chemicals

Benzylamine is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H5CH2NH2. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic amine odor. It is a primary amine with a benzene ring attached to it.

Benzyl alcohol is the simplest and most important industrial aromatic alcohol, with the chemical formula C6H5CH2OH. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature with a faint, pleasant odor that is slightly soluble in water but miscible with many organic solvents.

Benzene is a single-ring aromatic compound with the formula C6H6. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet odor. Benzene is thermally stable and chemically reactive, making it a valuable precursor to many other chemicals.

1,4-Benzoquinone, also commonly known as para-benzoquinone or simply quinone, is an organic compound with the formula C6H4O2. It appears as bright yellow crystals with a pungent odor similar to chlorine or bleach.

Benzenesulfonic acid is an organic molecule with the formula C6H5SO3H. It is a white crystals or waxy solid that is soluble in water and ethanol.

Benzidine is an organic compound with the chemical formula C12H12N2. It is a rayish-yellow, reddish-gray, or white crystalline solid that is slightly soluble in water.

Benzaldehyde is the most important aromatic aldehyde, both in nature and industry, with the formula C7H6O. It is a colorless liquid with a distinctive odor resembling bitter almond.

Aziridine, also known as ethylenimine, is a saturated heterocyclic amine with the formula C2H5N. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor that is highly reactive due to the strain in its three-membered ring.

4-Nitrophenol, also known as p-nitrophenol or 4-hydroxynitrobenzene, is an aromatic compound with the chemical formula C6H5NO3. It is a yellow to colorless crystalline solid with a sweet, phenolic odor. It is soluble in water, ethanol, and other organic solvents.

Anthraquinone is an organic compound with the formula C₁₄H₈O₂. It is a yellow, crystalline solid that is nearly insoluble in water and organic solvents at room temperature. Its solubility increases with temperature.

Anthracene is a solid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with the formula C14H10 that is composed of three fused benzene rings. It is a component of coal tar and was discovered in 1832 by J. Dumas and H. A. Laurent. Anthracene is colorless but exhibits a blue fluorescence under ultraviolet radiation.

Benzal chloride (C6H5CHCl2) is a colorless liquid that is synthesized by chlorinating the side chain of toluene. It is also known as dichloromethylbenzene, α,α-dichlorotoluene, or benzylidene chloride. The first synthesis of benzal chloride was reported in 1848 by A. Cahours, who reacted benzaldehyde with phosphorus pentachloride (PCl5).
