Notes:
a white crystalline compound prepared by condensation of benzaldehyde in potassium cyanide and used in organic syntheses. this should not be confused with benzoin gum from styrax. Benzoin is an organic compound with the formula PhCH(OH)C(O)Ph. It is a hydroxy ketone attached to two phenyl groups. It appears as off-white crystals, with a light camphor-like odor. Benzoin is synthesized from benzaldehyde in the benzoin condensation. It is chiral and it exists as a pair of enantiomers: (R)-benzoin and (S)-benzoin. (Wikipedia) Flavouring ingredient Benzoin is an organic compound with the formula PhCH(OH)C(O)Ph. It is a hydroxy ketone attached to two phenyl groups.
