Definition
N-benzylformamide, also known as N-(phenylmethyl)formamide, belongs to benzene and substituted derivatives class of compounds. Those are aromatic compounds containing one monocyclic ring system consisting of benzene. N-benzylformamide is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). N-benzylformamide can be synthesized from formamide. N-benzylformamide can also be synthesized into benzylaminocarbonyl group. N-benzylformamide can be found in a number of food items such as enokitake, wax apple, mexican oregano, and adzuki bean, which makes N-benzylformamide a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzene and substituted derivatives. These are aromatic compounds containing one monocyclic ring system consisting of benzene.
