phenyl

An aromatic hydrocarbon unit, C₆H₅, that can occur as a substituent in an organic compound or as an ion or radical, structurally related to benzene.

An organic radical (C₆H₅; in the free state, C₁₂H₁₀) found in phenol (or carbolic acid), benzol, and aniline.

A hydrocarbon radical (C6H5) regarded as the essential residue of benzene, and the basis of an immense number of aromatic derivatives.

phenol or carbolic acid.

a nitrogenous base (C6H5.N2H3) produced artificially as a colorless oil which unites with acids, ketones, etc., to form well-crystallized compounds.

A univalent hydrocarbon radical (C6H5) formally derived from benzene by the removal of a hydrogen atom, and the basis of an immense number of aromatic derivatives.
