What is the name for a three-carbon saturated alkyl group?
Answer:
propyl
CH3-CH2-CH2-
propyl
Saturated hydrocarbons are known as alkanes and cycloalkanes. A three carbon alkyl group is known as a "propyl" group (CH3-CH2-CH2-) It has one less hydrogen than propane : CH3-CH2-CH3. If you haven't already taken organic chemistry, alkanes and cycloalkanes are a few of the first things you will learn about.
propyl.but usually an alkyl group is not saturated, it has one less hydrogen : C3 H7
