What does IMINO mean in Scrabble?
adjective
chemistry
Relating to or containing the imino group, a nitrogen atom double-bonded to carbon and bearing a hydrogen atom.
Chemists attach the word imino as a prefix or descriptive adjective when naming compounds that include this nitrogen-based group, much as amino describes compounds built around a related nitrogen structure. An imino acid, for example, differs from an ordinary amino acid because the nitrogen forms part of a ring rather than a simple side chain, as in proline. The term belongs firmly to technical chemical nomenclature rather than everyday vocabulary.
