In organic and organometallic chemistry a 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, benzyl 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
