2:10 why is the second one called benzoyl chloride and not phenoyl chloride? I thought a benzene ring is called phenyl when it's missing a hydrogen

[@rabea.1643]

i was thinking the same thing

[@RuhabDabeer]

@@rabea.1643 No it is called benzoyl chloride because it doesn't contain a OH group so unless u have an OH group call it a phenoyl chloride

Hi James. Can i please just get this straight? How is an acyl group different to a carbonyl group?

[@santosreckz7203]

An acycl group has C=O CL whilst a carbonyl group only has C=O

Not sure if it will be helpful after 3 years, but acyl chloride has a chlorine group instead of a OH group.
