The reactivity of a methyl group depends on what it is attached to.
Typically, one methyl group is transferred more quickly than the second.
The final efforts were directed at placing methyl groups at position 5 and 15.
The oxidation of a methyl group occurs widely in nature and industry.
Quinaldine, the isomer with the methyl group in position 2.
The "p" stands for para, identifying the location of the methyl groups as across from one another.
The most common isomer is 3-methylcholanthrene, although the methyl group can occur in other places.
One of these lone pairs links to the methyl group.
It is an analog of 1,4-naphthoquinone with a methyl group in the 2-position.
It is used in organic synthesis as a source of methyl groups.
