Methallyl
Methallyl refers to the organic group with the chemical formula CH2=C(CH3)CH2-. It is an unsaturated alkyl group, a derivative of allyl where a hydrogen atom on the central carbon is replaced by a methyl group. This structural modification leads to a tertiary allylic carbon, influencing its reactivity.
The methallyl group is a component of various organic compounds. For example, methallyl alcohol, also known
Due to the presence of the double bond and the allylic position, methallyl groups can participate in
In polymer chemistry, methallyl monomers can be polymerized to form polymers with unique properties. The presence
