Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In organic chemistry, acetyl is a functional group, the acyl with chemical formula COCH3. It is sometimes abbreviated as Ac (not to be confused with the element actinium). The acetyl group contains a methyl group single- bonded to a carbonyl. The carbonyl center of an acyl radical has one nonbonded electron with which it forms a chemical bond to the remainder R of the molecule. In IUPAC nomenclature, acetyl is called ethanoyl, although this term is rarely heard. The acetyl moiety is a component of many organic compounds, including the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, acetyl-CoA, and the analgesics acetaminophen, and acetylsalicylic acid (better known as aspirin)
