Organyl group

In organic chemistry and organometallic chemistry, an organyl group is an organic radical - regardless of which functional group it contains - with one or, more rarely, several free valences on a carbon atom. The term is often used in the chemical patent literature to broadly define the scope of protection in the claims.

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 )
• Aminocarbonyl group
• Ampicilloyl group (a residue derived from ampicillin )
• Aryl group (e.g. phenyl group , 1-naphthyl group, 2-naphthyl group, 2-thiophenyl group, 2,4-dinitrophenyl group)
• Alkylaryl group (e.g. benzyl group , triphenylmethyl group )
• Benzyloxycarbonyl group (Cbz)
• tert -Butoxycarbonyl group (Boc)
• Carboxy group
• (Fluoren-9-ylmethoxy) carbonyl group ( Fmoc )
• Furfuryl group
• Glycidyl group
• Haloalkyl group (e.g. chloromethyl group , 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl group)
• Indolyl group
• Nitrile group
• Nucleosidyl group

The organyl group is fundamentally different from the organoheteryl group (organic - i.e. carbon-containing - group, the free valence of which, however, is located on an atom different from carbon). The term organoheteryl group is used relatively rarely. Examples of organoheteryl groups: acetoxy group , methoxy group , methylsulfanyl group, phenoxy group , phthalimido group, thiocyanato group and trimethylsilyl group (TMS).
