Lower alkyl definition
Lower alkyl alone or in combination means an alkane- derived radical containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms (unless specifically defined) that includes a straight chain alkyl or branched alkyl. The straight chain or branched alkyl group is chemically feasible and attached at any available point to produce a stable compound. In many embodiments, a lower alkyl is a straight or branched alkyl group containing from 1-6, 1-4, or 1-2, carbon atoms, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, t-butyl, and the like. An “optionally substituted lower alkyl” denotes lower alkyl that is optionally independently substituted, unless indicated otherwise, with one or more, preferably 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, also 1, 2, or 3 substituents,
Lower alkyl means a branched or unbranched saturated monovalent hydrocarbon radical containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms inclusive, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, iso-propyl, tert-butyl, butyl, n-pentyl.
Lower alkyl means a group having one to six carbon atoms in the chain which chain may be straight or branched. Non-limiting examples of suitable alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, t-butyl, n- pentyl, and hexyl.
