Acryloyl group
In organic chemistry, the acryloyl group is a form of enone with structure H2C=CH–C–; it is the acyl group derived from acrylic acid. The preferred IUPAC name for the group is prop-2-enoyl, and it is also known as acrylyl or simply as acryl. Compounds containing an acryloyl group can be referred to as "acrylic compounds".
An acrylic compound is typically an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound: it contains a carbon–carbon double bond and a carbon–oxygen double bond separated by a carbon–carbon single bond, thus possessing properties characteristic for both functional groups :
In addition, since both double bonds are separated by a single C–C bond, the double bonds are conjugated.Literature
