Aryloxy group
General formula of an aryloxy group [top left, R is an organyl radical ( alkyl , alkenyl, aryl, benzyl etc.)]. Aryloxy groups can be found e.g. B. in the ether shown above on the right and in the acetic acid ester shown below. The aryloxy group is marked blue in each case .
In organic chemistry, an aryloxy group is a functional group in which an aryl radical (e.g. phenyl radical, 1-naphthyl radical, 2-naphthyl radical, etc.) is bound to a molecule via an oxygen atom. For example, in the case of a phenoxy radical, a phenyl is connected to the radical via an oxygen atom (RO-Ph).
