Inorganic chemistry,1-propenyl (or simplypropenyl) has the formula CH=CHCH3 and2-propenyl (isopropenyl) has the formula CH2=C-CH3. These groups are found in many compounds. Propenyl compounds are isomeric withallyl compounds, which have the formula CH2-CH=CH2.
Manyphenylpropanoids and their derivatives feature derivatives of propenylbenzene:
Isopropenyl acetate is a 2-propenylester, synthesizable fromketene.
Severalterpenes feature 2-propenyl substituents:
