Benzyl alcohol O-benzoyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.196, benzoyl-CoA:benzyl alcohol benzoyltransferase, benzoyl-CoA:benzyl alcohol/phenylethanol benzoyltransferase, benzoyl-coenzyme A:benzyl alcohol benzoyltransferase, benzoyl-coenzyme A:phenylethanol benzoyltransferase) is an enzyme with systematic name benzoyl-CoA:benzyl alcohol O-benzoyltransferase.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

benzoyl-CoA + benzyl alcohol CoA + benzyl benzoate

The enzyme is involved in benzenoid and benzoic acid biosynthesis.
