  <name>Benzoyl benzoate</name>
  <description>Benzoyl benzoate, also known as benzoesaeureanhydrid or benzoic acid, anhydride, is a member of the class of compounds known as benzyloxycarbonyls. Benzyloxycarbonyls are organic compounds containing a carbonyl group substituted with a benzyloxyl group. Benzoyl benzoate is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Benzoyl benzoate can be synthesized from benzoic acid. Benzoyl benzoate can also be synthesized into benzoximate. Benzoyl benzoate can be found in wild celery, which makes benzoyl benzoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.</description>
