Cphenyl
Cphenyl is a term used in chemistry to refer to a phenyl substituent attached through a carbon atom in an organic molecule. It is not a standalone chemical compound, but rather a descriptor that indicates the point of attachment of a phenyl group within a larger structure. The phenyl group itself is the aryl fragment C6H5–, derived from benzene by removal of a hydrogen atom, and it can participate in a variety of bonding situations.
In practice, the designation “C-phenyl” emphasizes that the connection to the rest of the molecule is through
Applications and implications: compounds described as having a C-phenyl relationship include arylated alkanes, aryl-substituted alkenes, and
