is a carbon triple bond called allyl
Allyl as a functional group is represented as-CH 2 -CH=CH 2. Allyl is considered to be a common name. The term allyl deals with a carbon attached to a carbon in a double bond (that is sp2 hybridized).This is not to be confused with allylic as allylic refers to just a carbon attached to the carbon in the double bond, not the entire group of three carbons.he vinyl group is similar to the allyl group. However, vinyl refers to a group attached directly to an sp 2 hybridized (double bonded) carbon. The vinyl group is represented as-CH=CH 2. This is not to be confused with vinyllic carbons which are only the carbons participating in the double bond, not the entire group.
