I. How to distinguish between phenol and benzylPoulami Das)alcohol?

Answer»

Phenyl group is obtained by replacing one hydrogen atom from benzene. Benzyl group is obtained by replacing one hydrogen atom from methyl group attached to the benzene ring in toluene.

Phenyl= C6H5 , Benzyl=C6H5-CH2

Phenyl groups refer to a benzene ring present in the form of substitution. It has the formula C6H5-

Benzyl Group refers to a phenyl group attached with CH2- group.

The formula for benzyl is C6H5CH2-

Thus the difference between benzyl and phenyl functional groups is that benzyls have an extra CH2.
