alkoksrühma
An alkoxyl group is a functional group in organic chemistry characterized by an alkyl group bonded to an oxygen atom. Its general formula is R-O-, where R represents an alkyl radical. Alkoxyl groups are derived from alcohols through the removal of a hydrogen atom from the hydroxyl group. For example, a methoxy group (-OCH3) is derived from methanol (CH3OH), and an ethoxy group (-OCH2CH3) is derived from ethanol (CH3CH2OH).
These groups are commonly found in various organic compounds, most notably in ethers, where two alkoxyl groups
The presence of an alkoxyl group significantly influences the physical and chemical properties of a molecule.
