Preferred Label : alkyl groups;
IUPAC definition : Univalent groups derived from alkanes by removal of a hydrogen atom from any carbon
atom –C sub i n /i /sub H sub 2 i n /i 1 /sub . The groups derived by removal of
a hydrogen atom from a terminal carbon atom of unbranched alkanes form a subclass
of normal alkyl ( i n /i -alkyl) groups H(CH sub 2 /sub ) sub i n /i /sub . The
groups div class chemoverlay pop pop1 img A00228-1.png RCH sub 2 /sub /div , div
class chemoverlay pop pop2 img A00228-2.png R sub 2 /sub CH /div (R H), and div
class chemoverlay pop pop3 img A00228-2.png R sub 3 /sub C /div (R H) are primary,
secondary and tertiary alkyl groups, respectively.;
