Bibenzyl is the organic compound with the formula (C₆H₅CH₂)₂. It can be viewed as a derivative of ethane in which one phenyl group is bonded to each carbon atom. It is a colorless solid.

Occurrences

The compound is the product from the coupling of a pair of benzyl radicals.^[2]

Bibenzyl forms the central core of some natural products like dihydrostilbenoids^[3] and isoquinoline alkaloids. Marchantins are a family of bis(bibenzyl)-containing macrocycles.^[4]
