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.
