	Methyl group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In chemistry, a methyl group is a hydrophobic alkyl functional group derived from methane (CH
		When a methyl group is substituted as the R group in an amino acid, it forms alanine.
		The introduction of methyl groups as new substituents in a compound usually increases the lipophilicity of the compound and reduces its water solubility.

	Methyl group Summary
		The methyl group is the alkyl group with the chemical formula -CH The methyl group is sometimes abbreviated to -Me. The methyl group is derived from methane, CH The methyl group, along with other alkyl groups is a modifier of the behavior of the functional group of the molecule in which it occurs.
		A methyl group has a low molecular mass and as such it has a minimal effect on the properties of other molecules of which it is attached to.
		The addition of a methyl group to a compound is known as methylation.

	Methylation Summary
		Methylation is generally a silencing mechanism in mammalian cells, inhibiting transcriptional activity from the modified genes, including transposons and retroviruses that have accumulated in the mammalian genome.
		The importance of methylation in at least the maintenance of imprints is clear, and the nature of the de novo imprint is a subject of active research.
		Methylator phenotype describes a pathway that results in instability through the simultaneous silencing of multiple genes, and is involved with tumors with sporadic mismatch repair deficiency.

	Methyl group tunnelling - a quantitative probe of atom-atom interactions
		Aswell as being a tool for investigating quantum tunnelling effects, the methyl group is also a sensitive probe of atom-atom interactions since the tunnel frequency depends exponentially on the height of the rotational barrier.
		That the correlation is valid in many cases enables the methyl group to be used as a probe of its molecular environment and the numerical methods to be applied to less well characterised systems such as methyl group dynamics in amorphous polymers.

	Structure of Benzene
		For this reason the methyl group is called an "ortho-para directing group." It "directs" the incoming electrophile to attack at the ortho and para positions relative to itself.
		Groups in which the atom directly attached to the benzene ring have a partial or complete positive charge tend to pull electrons toward themselves.
		We understand this to mean that the methyl group lowered the energy of intermediates and transition states along the pathway to product as compared to the effect of a hydrogen (in benzene).

	Enzymes & Methylation
		Methylation is simply the adding or removal of the methyl group to a compound or other element.
		When the methyl group is "lost" or removed, the reaction stops (or a gene is turned off or the enzyme is deactivated).
		Of course, they may not see additional benefit if the methylation process is fixed with the first supplement, but it is something that might help a person know why they or their child is consistently doing well or poorly with a group of supplements.

		This is the less stable of the two conformations that interconvert by the ring-flipping process because of the steric interactions between the axial methyl group and the axial hydrogens on the same face of the ring (1,3-diaxial interactions).
		As a result, a sample of methylcyclohexane is composed 95% of molecules with the methyl group equatorial and 5% of molecules with the methyl group axial.
		The axial strain energy for an isopropyl group (2.2 kcal/mol [9.2 kJ/mol]) is only slightly larger than that for a methyl group because the isopropyl group has a hydrogen pointed back over the ring to interact with the axial hydrogens.

	Nomenclature Examples
		The location of the methyl group must be specified, since there are two possible isomers of this kind.
		Note that if the methyl group were located at the end of the chain, the longest chain would have seven carbons and the root name would be heptane not hexane.
		In this case it is the right end of the chain, and the methyl group is located on carbon #3.

	Iodomethane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Methyl iodide is widely used in organic synthesis to deliver a methyl group into a structure, a process called methylation, usually via S
		This is valuable in the methylation of stabilized enolates (such as those from 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds), where alkylation of an enolate may occur on the harder oxygen atom rather than the (usually desired) carbon atom.
		Methyl chloride is a poorer methylating reagent than MeI, though it is often adequate.

	friedel-crafts reactions of benzene and methylbenzene
		An acyl group is an alkyl group attached to a carbon-oxygen double bond.
		Normally, the methyl group in methylbenzene directs new groups into the 2- and 4- positions (assuming the methyl group is in the 1- position).
		The reason for the 2,4- directing effect of the methyl group in methylbenzene lies in the fact that the 2- and 4- isomers form faster than the 3- isomer.

	Biotechnology's newest chemical tool
		Methyltransferases require a source for the methyl groups that they attach to DNA, and most often that source is a molecule called S-Adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet), sometimes known as SAM or SAMe.
		To try out their technique, the scientists synthesized molecules that mimicked AdoMet, but had chemical groups with longer carbon chains in the position where the methyl group was usually located.
		Earlier studies had suggested that the transfer of chemical groups larger than a methyl group would not be possible, in part because replacing AdoMet's methyl group lowered the chemical reactivity of the compound.
