noun
chemistry
A group of three carbon atoms and seven hydrogen atoms that is attached to the rest of a molecule in organic compounds.
In organic chemistry propyl names the fragment that is left when one hydrogen atom is taken away from propane. It is never found on its own in a bottle; instead it appears as a building block in the names of compounds such as propyl alcohol or propyl acetate. The word is built from the same root as propane, and chemists use it as a prefix to tell a three-carbon chain apart from methyl, ethyl and butyl groups.
