Organyl group

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 (e.g., methyl group, ethyl group)
• Alkenyl group (e.g., vinyl group, allyl group)
• Alkynyl group (propargyl group)
• Benzyloxycarbonyl group (Cbz)
• tert-butoxycarbonyl group (Boc)
• Carboxyl group
