Talk:Acyl group

Formula picture

Where's the picture of the generalised formula for this one? Annonieymouse (talk) 08:03, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

enoyl

Can we get anything on enoyl 's? Enoyls are acyl radicals with a double bond. I'm assuming they have the structure 2(R)-C=C=O^-. Only link I could find was: http://cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/omd?enoyl —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jayjaya29 (talk • contribs) 13:55, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

The above link seems dead, but here is https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi/searchId.do?chebiId=23916

Boy, that is helpful

The diagram at the top, where the acyl group appears in 6 contexts, is extremely useful and clarifying, a summarizing remedy for a jungle of definitions. Thanks. 89.217.9.188 (talk) 22:42, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Are all Acyl groups organic?

My reading of the the cited IUPAC definition for "Acyl" is that they are oxoacids that include an "R" group, hence are organic. "Formyl" is also classified as "Acyl". I think that the reference to inorganic oxoacids should be removed.ChiBeta (talk) 06:50, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

In addition I propose that 'alkyl group' is replaced by 'organoyl group' in the body text.

Like carbonyl, but...

At first glance an acyl group looks a lot like a carbonyl group, yet neither entry discusses their relation. Someone should really fix that! I'm too tired to work out what the difference is myself right now. --Oolong (talk) 19:36, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
