Propyl group. From left to right: the two isomeric groups propyl and 1-methylethyl (iPr or isopropyl), and the non-isomeric cyclopropyl group. In organic chemistry, a propyl group is a three- carbon alkyl substituent with chemical formula −CH2CH2CH3 for the linear form. This substituent form is obtained by removing one hydrogen atom attached ...
Alkyl group. In organic chemistry, an alkyl group is an alkane missing one hydrogen. [1] The term alkyl is intentionally unspecific to include many possible substitutions. An acyclic alkyl has the general formula of −CnH2n+1. A cycloalkyl group is derived from a cycloalkane by removal of a hydrogen atom from a ring and has the general formula ...
Cyclopropyl group. A cyclopropyl group is a chemical structure derived from cyclopropane; it is typically produced in a cyclopropanation reaction. The group has an empirical formula of C 3 H 5 and chemical bonds from each of the three carbons to both of the other two.
Butyl group. In organic chemistry, butyl is a four- carbon alkyl radical or substituent group with general chemical formula −C4H9, derived from either of the two isomers (n -butane and isobutane) of butane. The isomer n -butane can connect in two ways, giving rise to two "-butyl" groups: The second isomer of butane, isobutane, can also ...
Infobox references. Propyl acetate, also known as propyl ethanoate, is an organic compound. Nearly 20,000 tons are produced annually for use as a solvent. This colorless liquid is known by its characteristic odor of pears. Due to this fact, it is commonly used in fragrances and as a flavor additive.
The molecule consists of a propyl group attached to a phenyl ring. It is a colorless liquid. A more common structural isomer of this compound is cumene. n-Propylbenzene is used as a nonpolar organic solvent in various industries, including printing and the dyeing of textiles and in the manufacture of methylstyrene.
Chemical structure of the 2-propynyl (propargyl) group. In organic chemistry, a propynyl group is a propyl bearing a triple bond. [1] The 1-propynyl group has the structure CH3-C≡C–R. [2] The 2-propynyl group is also known as a propargyl group, and has the structure HC≡C−CH2–R. [3]
Alcohol (chemistry) Ball-and-stick model of an alcohol molecule (R3COH). The red and white balls represent the hydroxyl group (−OH). The three "R"s stand for carbon substituents or hydrogen atoms. [1] In chemistry, an alcohol (from the Arabic word al-kuḥl, الكحل) is a type of organic compound that carries at least one hydroxyl (−OH ...
