  2. Vinyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_group

    Chemical structure of the vinyl functional 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.

  3. Allyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allyl_group

    Structure of the allyl group. In organic chemistry, an allyl group is a substituent with the structural formula −CH 2 −HC=CH 2. It consists of a methylene bridge (−CH 2 −) attached to a vinyl group (−CH=CH 2). [1] [2] The name is derived from the scientific name for garlic, Allium sativum.

  4. Allyl alcohol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allyl_alcohol

    Allyl alcohol is produced commercially by the Olin and Shell corporations through the hydrolysis of allyl chloride: . CH 2 =CHCH 2 Cl + NaOH → CH 2 =CHCH 2 OH + NaCl. Allyl alcohol can also be made by the rearrangement of propylene oxide, a reaction that is catalyzed by potassium alum at high temperature.

  5. Carbonyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonyl_group

    A ketone compound containing a carbonyl group (C=O) In organic chemistry, a carbonyl group is a functional group with the formula C=O, composed of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom, and it is divalent at the C atom.

  6. Vinyl polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_polymer

    Vinyl polymers are subject of several structural variations, which greatly expands the range of polymers and their applications. With the exception of polyethylene, vinyl polymers can arise from head-to-tail linking of monomers, head-to-head combined with tail-to-tail, or a mixture of those two patterns. Additionally the substituted carbon center in such polymers is stereogenic (a "chiral center")

  7. Phenyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenyl_group

    In terms of its electronic properties, the phenyl group is related to a vinyl group. It is generally considered an inductively withdrawing group (-I), because of the higher electronegativity of sp 2 carbon atoms, and a resonance donating group (+M), due to the ability of its π system to donate electron density when conjugation is possible. [5]

  8. Vinylogy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinylogy

    Acidity of the hydroxyl proton at the terminus of the vinyl group in ascorbic acid is more comparable to a typical carboxylic acid than an alcohol because two major resonance structures stabilize the negative charge on the conjugate base of ascorbic acid (center and right structures in last image), analogous to the two resonance structures that ...

  9. Vinyl cation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_cation

    The vinyl cation is a carbocation with the positive charge on an alkene carbon. Its empirical formula of the parent ion is C 2 H + 3.Vinyl cation are invoked as reactive intermediates in solvolysis of vinyl halides, [1] [2] as well as electrophilic addition to alkynes and allenes.
