phenylderived
Phenylderived denotes molecules that incorporate a phenyl group (C6H5–) as a substituent or as an integral part of the structure. The term is often used interchangeably with phenyl-derived or phenyl-substituted, though exact usage varies by field. A phenyl group arises from benzene with one hydrogen removed, and phenylderived compounds typically feature this ring either modified by other substituents or linked to other moieties.
Phenylderived compounds cover a wide range of chemistries, including phenyl esters, phenyl ethers, phenyl ketones, and
Nomenclature commonly uses the prefix phenyl- or the symbol Ph to indicate the phenyl moiety. In systematic
Methods to construct phenylderived motifs include electrophilic aromatic substitution, Friedel–Crafts reactions, and modern cross-coupling approaches such
Applications span pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, and polymers, notably phenyl-containing polymers such as polystyrene. The term also
