In the title compound, C(19)H(15)NO, the N atom adopts an approximately trigonal-planar geometry, lying 0.07 (1) Å from the plane defined by its three neighbouring C atoms. The two phenyl rings and the benzaldehyde group form dihedral angles of 53.0 (1)/47.2 (1) and 29.0 (1)°, respectively, with this central plane.

In the title compound, C(8)H(9)N(3)S·H(2)O, intra-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bonding contributes to the mol-ecular conformation. Water mol-ecules are involved in inter-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯S hydrogen bonds, which link the mol-ecules into ribbons extended along the a axis. Weak inter-molecular N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds link these ribbons into layers parallel to the ab plane with the phenyl rings poi...

The title compound, C(14)H(12)O(2), has an essentially planar conformation with the two aromatic rings forming a dihedral angle of 5.23 (9)° and the aldehyde group lying in the plane of its aromatic group [maximum deviation = 0.204 (3) Å]. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O contacts are found to be shortest between the aldehyde O-atom acceptor and the H atoms of the methyl-ene group.

In the title compound, C(14)H(13)NO, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 66.08 (9)°. Chains are formed along the b axis through inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure is further stabilized by C-H⋯π inter-actions.

Meldrum's acid, 2'5-diphenyl-1'3-dioxane-4'6-dione, was produced by [2+2] cycloadditions of the (chlorocarbony1)phenylketene with benzaldehyde. Acid hydrolysis of the meldrum's acid regenerated benzaldehyde and also yielded phenylacetic acid as the final product

The effects of combinations of organic amendments, phytochemicals, and plant-growth promoting rhizobacteria on tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) germination, transplant growth, and infectivity of Meloidogyne incognita were evaluated. Two phytochemicals (citral and benzaldehyde), three organic amendments (pine bark, chitin, and hemicellulose), and three bacteria (Serratia marcescens, Brevibacteri...

Benzaldehyde and its metabolic intermediates were effectively degraded by the brown-rot basidiomycetes Tyromyces palustris and Gloeophyllum trabeum. The pathway of benzaldehyde degradation was elucidated by the identification of fungal metabolites produced upon the addition of benzaldehyde and its metabolic intermediates. The oxidation and reduction occurred simultaneously, forming benzyl alcoh...

Selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde in aqueous solution, under acidic conditions, through the TiO2/Cu(II)/solar UV photocatalytic system, was investigated. Different commercial TiO2 samples were tested. The best result found, in terms of yield, was of 35% for benzaldehyde with respect to the initial benzyl alcohol concentration. During a single run, a partial conversion of ben...

Biotransformation of benzaldehyde to L-phenylacetylcarbinol (L-PAC) as a key intermediate for L-ephedrine synthesis has been evaluated using pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) partially purified from Candida utilis. PDC activity was enhanced by controlled fermentative metabolism and pulse feeding of glucose prior to the enzyme purification. With partially purified PDC, several enzymatic reactions occ...

In the title compound, C(14)H(13)NO, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 49.64 (18)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by N-H⋯O, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π hydrogen bonds.
