In organic and organometallic chemistry, an organyl group (commonly denoted by the letter "R") is an organic substituent with one (sometimes more) free valence(-s) at a carbon atom. The term is often used in chemical patent literature to protect claims over a broad scope.[citation needed]
Examples
- Acetonyl group
- Acyl group (e.g. acetyl group, benzoyl group)
- Alkyl group (e.g., methyl group, ethyl group)
- Alkenyl group (e.g., vinyl group, allyl group)
- (propargyl group)
- Benzyloxycarbonyl group (Cbz)
- tert-butoxycarbonyl group (Boc)
- Carboxyl group
