In
organic and
organometallic chemistry, an organyl group 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.
Examples
* Acetonyl group
*
Acyl group (e.g.
acetyl group,
benzoyl group)
*
Alkyl group
In organic chemistry, an alkyl group is an alkane missing one hydrogen.
The term ''alkyl'' is intentionally unspecific to include many possible substitutions.
