Even if it was, the stand alone component would no longer be stand alone once incorporated into the larger molecule. As I pointed out, a single oxygen atom is a radical and the body has the means to quench it to prevent it from doing damage. That does not mean oxygen gas, O2, is dangerous, quite the contrary, it is necessary to life. The fact it is made from two oxygen atoms does not make it unsafe.

Friends,
Benzodiazepines are synthesized to have a benzene ring in their chemical structure, so where do these rings come from? Apple butter? Holes in the ground?
My friends, to have any constituant chemically as a benzene ring, there is benzene that it is from.
In Klonopin, there is {nitrobenzophenone} used in the synthesis. Now nitrobenzophenone comes from benzene.
