This molecule is attached to a methyl group to form the side chain of phenylalanine.
A derivative of this molecule is carboxylated to form salicylic acid in the Kolbe-Schmitt reaction. This molecule is attached to a methyl group to form the side chain of phenylalanine. Some derivatives of this molecule include toluene and aniline. As a functional group, it is given the name "phenyl," and reducing this molecule completely yields cyclohexane. Because of this cyclic molecule's alternating single and double bonds, it possesses two Lewis structures. This hydrocarbon with six delocalized pi electrons can be depicted as a hexagon with a circle in the middle. For 10 points, name this aromatic molecule with a chemical formula of C6H6.
