Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The benzylic carbons in the given compound are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Hydrocarbons are formed by carbon and hydrogen atom. These atoms form a bond with each other and with other atoms through the sharing of electrons.
(b)
Interpretation:
The benzylic carbons in the given compound are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Hydrocarbons are formed by carbon and hydrogen atom. These atoms form a bond with each other and with other atoms through the sharing of electrons. Alkenes have carbon-carbon double bonds in them. Benzene ring is a six membered aromatic cyclic alkene. The carbon atom which is attached to benzene ring is known as benzylic carbon.
