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

...where the six carbon atoms are arranged in a cyclic ring structure. This hydrophobic, highly-stable and aromatic hydrocarbon unit can be found in many organic compounds. It can be thought of as being derived from benzene (C6H6). In fact, in chemical literature benzene itself is sometimes denoted as PhH. Read full entry

Why are some organic compounds Benzene is poisonous and a
proven carcinogen. Yet many
compounds containing benzene
rings, such as benzaldehyde,
are common in the foods you
eat. Why are some organic
compounds with phenyl groups
safe to eat?

Some aromatic compounds are safe to eat because either they are not particularly well metabolised by the liver, and are not polar/reactive enough themselves to induce any particular damage - passing right through the body. Whilst in some cases they are metabolised by the liver to form more polar compounds, but these compounds themselves are not particularly toxic. Then you get to the aromatics that can be oxidised, forming compounds such as epoxides (three-membered ethers) and epoxy-diols. For example, the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as benzo[a]pyrene, a constituent in burnt toast, are metabolized in the liver by cytochrome P450-enzymes which convert them into epoxydiol derivatives. These derivatives are more polar and reactive, and can induce DNA damage through e.g. intercalation. It basically comes down to whether they are themselves reactive molecules, whether they can/cannot be oxidized by enzymes in the liver, and if they can, whether not they are formed in sufficiently large quantities that they pose a biological threat. You may have heard the term "pro-carcinogen". The PAHs are examples of these. In their unaltered states, they are not particularly harmful. It is only upon being converted by cytochrome P450 enzymes that they gain this carcinogenic character. Another interesting thing is considering benzene and toluene. Toluene is not a particularly noted carcinogen. It seems that the amount of active carcinogen that might be formed upon its oxidation is rather minimal. |
