Acyl is an organic radical (or functional group) obtained from an organic acid by the removal of the carboxylic hydroxyl group.

Acyl groups can be written as -COR, where there is a double bond between the carbon and oxygen. The names of acyl groups typically end in -yl, such as formyl, propyl, benzoyl. Acyl groups can be used in Friedel-Crafts acylation.

The names of acyl groups typicaAcylationIn chemistry, acylation is the process of adding an acyl group to a compound. The compound providing the acyl group is called the acylating agent . Because they form a strong electrophile when treated with some metal catalysts, ethanoyl halides are commonAcyl halideAn acyl halide is an organic compound containing a carbon atom which is double-bonded to an oxygen atom and singly bonded to a chlorine atom. An example of an acyl halide is acetyl chloride CHCOCl. An acyl halide reacts with: water to form a carboxylic ac
