Allyl

An allyl group is a substituent with the structural formula H2C=CH-CH2R, where R is the rest of the molecule. It consists of a methylene bridge (-CH2-) attached to a vinyl group (-CH=CH2). The name is derived from the Latin word for garlic, Allium sativum. In 1844, Theodor Wertheim isolated an allyl derivative from garlic oil and named it "Schwefelallyl". The term allyl applies to many compounds related to H2C=CH-CH2, some of which are of practical or of everyday importance for example allyl chloride.

Nomenclature

A site on the saturated carbon atom is called the allylic position or allylic site. A group attached at this site is sometimes described as allylic. Thus, CH2=CHCH2OH "has an allylic hydroxyl group." Allylic C-H bonds are about 15% weaker than the C-H bonds in ordinary sp3 carbon centers and are thus more reactive. This heightened reactivity has many practical consequences. The industrial production of acrylonitrile by ammoxidation of propene exploits the easy oxidation of the allylic C-H centers.

All Back

by: Chris Brown

Oh, if I have a moment, I'd capture that moment
You would be right here next to me
If I had the secret, the secret to your love
I would place the treasure beneath my heart
Lock it all up and throw away the key
I would never give it up
'Cause I was just a fool, a fool for you
When I love you so childishly
And I want it all back
I want it all, I want it all, girl, I want it all back
I want it all back
I want it all, I want it all, said, I want it all back
You never miss a good thing 'til it's gone
I want it all, now I want it all back
If there is a green light and it's supposed to turn yellow
Better to the flow, 'cause I know your heart is turning gray
If I had the minutes, I would turn 'em into hours
And make love to your money, not your body instead
I was just a fool, a fool for you
That didn't know what I had until I lost you
Every single moment you turn up here
Instead of dead to me, that everything seemed so clear
And I want it all back
(I gotta have it all)
I want it all, I want it all, said, I want it all back
I want it all back
I want it all, I want it all, said, I want it all
You never miss a good thing 'til it's gone
I want it all, now I want it all back
Now anything isn't everything
If everything, everything isn't with you
Now I want it all back
I want it all, I want it all, girl, I want it all back
I want it all back
I want it all, I want it all, girl, I want it all back
You never miss a good thing 'til it's gone
Want it all, now I want it all back
Now I want it all back, now I want it all back
