[CINNYLIC-ALCOHOL.] phenyl-amyl, s. Chemistry: C11H16=C6H5-C5H11. A hydrocarbon obtained by carefully distilling a mixture of sodium, bromo benzene, and amyl bromide diluted with benzene. It is a transparent, colorle liquid, specific gravity 0859 at 12, boils at 195°, and di olves at a gentle heat in fuming sulphuric acid, forming a sulpho-acid, C11H16SO3. By oxidation with pota ium chromate it is changed into benzoic acid. IMG:content-0984.png:[blocks in formation] phenyl-carbonate, s. Chem.: CO3(C6H5)2. Obtained by heating phenol and liquid phosgene to 140-150° in a sealed tube. It crystallizes from hot alcohol in white, silky needles, insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and ether, melts at 78°, giving off a pleasant aromatic odor, and sublimes in long needles.
