Benzylidene compounds

Benzylidene compounds are, formally speaking, derivatives of benzylidene, although few are prepared from the carbene.

Benzylidene acetal is a protecting group in synthetic organic chemistry of the form PhCH(OR)2.

Benzylidene is an archaic term for compounds of the type PhCHX2 and PhCH= substituents (Ph = C6H5).

It is a triplet carbene (CAS RN 3101-08-4).
