  2. Functional group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_group

    In organic chemistry, a functional group is a substituent or moiety in a molecule that causes the molecule's characteristic chemical reactions.The same functional group will undergo the same or similar chemical reactions regardless of the rest of the molecule's composition.

  3. Enol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enol

    In organic chemistry, enols are a type of functional group or intermediate in organic chemistry containing a group with the formula C=C(OH) (R = many substituents). The term enol is an abbreviation of alkenol, a portmanteau deriving from "-ene"/"alkene" and the "-ol". Many kinds of enols are known. [1]

  4. IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_nomenclature_of...

    The side chains are grouped like this: 12-butyl-4,8-diethyl. (But this is not necessarily the final grouping, as functional groups may be added in between to ensure all groups are listed alphabetically.) The secondary functional groups are: a hydroxy- at carbon 5, a chloro- at carbon 11, a methoxy- at carbon 15, and a bromo- at carbon 18.

  5. Functionality (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functionality_(Chemistry)

    In organic chemistry, functionality is often used as a synonym for functional group. For example, a hydroxyl group can also be called a HO-function. [1] [2] Functionalisation means the introduction of functional groups, for example the functionalisation of a surface [3] (e.g. silanization for the specific modification of the adhesion of a surface)

  6. Benzoyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzoyl_group

    The benzoyl functional group. In organic chemistry, benzoyl (/ ˈ b ɛ n z oʊ ɪ l /, BENZ-oh-il) [1] is the functional group with the formula −COC 6 H 5 and structure −C(=O)−C 6 H 5. [2] [3] It can be viewed as benzaldehyde missing one hydrogen. The benzoyl group has a mass of 105 amu.

  7. Organic sulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_sulfide

    General structure of a sulfide with the blue marked functional group. In organic chemistry, a sulfide (British English sulphide) or thioether is an organosulfur functional group with the connectivity R−S−R' as shown on right. Like many other sulfur-containing compounds, volatile sulfides have foul odors. [1]

  8. Trimethylsilyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimethylsilyl_group

    A trimethylsilyl group (abbreviated TMS) is a functional group in organic chemistry. This group consists of three methyl groups bonded to a silicon atom [−Si(CH 3) 3], which is in turn bonded to the rest of a molecule. This structural group is characterized by chemical inertness and a large molecular volume, which makes it useful in a number ...

  9. Vinyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_group

    In organic chemistry, a vinyl group (abbr. Vi; [1] IUPAC name: ethenyl group [2]) is a functional group with the formula −CH=CH 2. It is the ethylene (IUPAC name: ethene) molecule (H 2 C=CH 2) with one fewer hydrogen atom. The name is also used for any compound containing that group, namely R−CH=CH 2 where R is any other group of atoms.
