Propenyl
In organic chemistry, propenyl is any species with the formula RCH=CHCH3. Many propenyl compounds are known, such as cis- and trans-1-chloropropene, propenylbenzene (β-methylstyrene).[1] Propenyl compounds are isomeric with and less common than allyl compounds, which have the formula RCH2-CH=CH2.
The three common precursors to lignin are derivatives of propenylbenzene: paracoumaryl alcohol (1), coniferyl alcohol (2) and sinapyl alcohol (3).
