The combustion properties for the prevention of the fire and explosion in the work place are flash point, explosion limit, autoignition temperature (AIT) etc.. The using of the corrective combustion properties of the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) of the handling substance for the chemical process safety is very important. For the safe handling of benzyl alcohol which is widely used in the chemical industry, the flash point and the AIT were measured. And, the lower explosion limit (LEL) of benzyl alcohol was calculated by using the lower flash point which obtained in the experiment. The flash points of benzyl alcohol by using the Setaflash and Pensky-Martens closed-cup testers measured $90^{\circ}C$ and $93^{\circ}C$, respectively. The flash points of benzyl alcohol by using the Tag and Cleveland open cup testers are measured $97^{\circ}C$ and $100^{\circ}C$. The experimental AIT of benzyl alcohol by ASTM 659E tester was measured as $408^{\circ}C$. The LEL of benzyl alcohol measured by Setaflash closed-cup apparatus was calculated as 1.17 vol% at $90^{\circ}C$. In this study, it was to possible predict the LEL by using the lower flash point of benzyl alcohol which measured by Setaflash closed-cup tester.

Iron aluminophosphates (FeAlP) with different percentage of iron were synthesized and characterized for their surface and bulk properties. The catalytic activity was determined in the transesterification of diethyl malonate with benzyl alcohol. Benzyl ethylmalonate and dibenzyl malonate were obtained as the only products. FeAlP with 0.025 mole % of iron was found to be distinctly different in its textural and catalytic properties. Formation of diester was found to be favored by the acid sites of intermediate strength. The presence of hydrated alumina and the polycondensed phosphates in the materials reduced the catalytic activity of iron aluminophosphates in transesterification reaction.

CNDO/2 calculations on $XC_6H_4CH_2Cl,\;where\;X = H,\;p-CH_3,\;p-NH_2\;and\;p-NO_2$, and on benzyl radicals, cations and anions have been carried out in order to investigate nonlinear Hammett behavior. Main conclusions reached are: 1. Benzyl chloride exhibits borderline behavior due to ${\sigma}-{\pi}$ conjugation between C-Cl bond and the ring-system. 2. The extent of mutual conjugation can be judged by $\pi$-charge and bond alternation and interfrontier level separation narrowing effects. 3.The electron donating para substituent reduces the HOMO AO coefficient of the benzylic carbon, while the electron withdrawing para substituent reduces the LUMO AO coefficient of the benzylic carbon.

When (3R,4R)-1-(1-benzyloxycarbonyl-2-methyl-1-propenyl)-4-mercapto-3-phenylacetamidoazetidin-2-one(8) was reacted with carbon disulfide and alkyl halides in the presence of triethylamine, the ${\beta}$-lactam ring was cleaved to give (Z)-and (E)-1-alkylthio-5-benzyloxycarbonyl-6-methyl-2-phenylacetamido-4-aza-1,5-heptadien-3-one (13-16) or 2-benzyl-4-(3-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-methyl-1-oxo-2-aza-3-pentenyl)thiazole(17).

𝛽-Hydroxynitrile and 𝛽-ketonitrile were synthesized by the electrochemical oxidation of benzyl alcohol in an acetonitrile solvent. 𝛽-Hydroxynitrile was prepared by the reaction between benzaldehyde from the oxidation of benzyl alcohol and acetonitrile anion which was produced from the electrochemical reduction of acetonitrile. 𝛽-Hydroxynitrile was finally electrochemically converted into 𝛽-ketonitrile by applying 20 mA of current for 3 h. We demonstrated that 𝛽-hydroxynitrile or 𝛽-ketonitrile syntheses were prepared by electrochemical oxidation of benzyl alcohol with a commonly used Pt electrode at room temperature.

A simple and high yielding one-pot method for synthesis of 2,4,5-triarylimidazoles from condensation of benzoin or benzil, ammonium acetate and aromatic aldehydes using sulphanilic acid catalyst is described. The lower priced catalyst, higher yields and shorter reaction time are the advantages of the presented method.

Penicillin and its salts, including the benzatine, procaine, and sodium salts, have been widely used in human and veterinary medicine. Owing to their low toxicity, they currently form the most important group of antibiotics. However, overdose and abuse of these antibiotics may lead to potential risk in human health. Therefore, this study was conducted to validate the analysis method established by the Korea Food Code in 2012 and to monitor the levels of benzylpenicillin residues in products with reference to the maximum residue level (MRL). Of the 232 product samples tested, benzylpenicillin was detected in 11 livestock products and 2 marine products. Benzylpenicillin concentrations were found to be lower than the MRL in 12 products; however, the concentration of benzylpenicillin was found to be greater than the MRL in 1 pork product. The limit of quantification (LOQ) for benzylpenicillin was found to be 0.001-0.002 mg/kg, with an average recovery of 90.4-115.3%. Calibrations showed good linearity of 0.995 over a range of 0.002-0.05 mg/kg.

The oxidation of various benzyl ethers and benzyl alkyl ethers to benzoates has been studied in two-phase system of $CH_3CO_2Et$ and aqueous NaOCl (6.6 mol eq.). The oxidant N-oxo-4-methoxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidium bromide (N-oxoammonium salt) was prepared in situ and recycled by addition of 4-methoxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (0.03 mol eq., 4-methoxy-TEMPO), co-catalyst KBr (0.03mol eq.) and second oxidant NaOCl. Thus the catalytic amount of 4-methoxy-TEMPO was used. An adjustment of the pH value of below 8.0 was also required for this reaction with 2.5 hr of reaction time at 0∼5$^{\circ}C$. Under these conditions benzyl ethers were oxidized to benzoates. The selectivity of oxidation of benzyl alkyl ethers is dependent on the acidity of hydrogen and steric effect of alkyl group.

An investigation was made of possible ways in which one could control the relative rates of cadmium deposition and hydrogen evolution by binary additive systems. Benzyl alcohol was employed as an additives due to its ability to form a hydrophobic film which inhibit the electroreduction of water to form hydrogen. The second additive was chosen to make the cadmium(II) ion less hydrophilic and increase its ability to cross the hydrophobic benzyl alcohol film and be electrodeposited at the cathode. It was shown by voltammetric and current efficiency studies that ion pairing and complexing additives could be used to accelerate the reduction of cadmium in the presence of the benzyl alcohol film. It was also shown that the benzyl alcohol film lowered the dielectric constant of the solution near the electrode enough to obtain ion pairing between the sodium ion and the negative chloride complex of cadmium and accelerate the reduction of the cadmium. This acceleration did not occur in the sulfate solution in the absence of chloride since cadmium(II) is primarily present as a positive aquo complex and ion pairing, if it occured, would not accelerate but would hinder reduction of cadmium.

A new 3-amino-1,3-thiazoline chemical library was synthesized through parallel synthetic technology and in vivo antifungal activity of the compounds were investigated against the typical 6 plant diseases (100 ppm). The characteristic feature of these derivatives was that both a benzyl moiety in C-2 imino and an amino group in C-3 of 2-imino-1,3-thiazoline scaffold were substituted in the molecule respectively. Some compounds showed antifungal activity with selectivity against tomato late blight and rice blast. The fungitoxicity would be attributed to 3,4-dichlorophenyl moiety of the benzyl group.
