In [[organic chemistry]], '''benzoyl''' is the [[acyl]] of [[benzoic acid]], with structure C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>CO-. It should not be confused with [[benzyl]], which is the radical or ion formed from the removal of one of the methyl hydrogens of [[toluene]] (methylbenzene). Whereas a benzyl substituent is commonly abbreviated "Bn", a benzoyl group is in contrast given the symbol "Bz".
