Talk:Aryl group

could not this complexity:

aryl refers to any member of the set of functional groups or substituents that are derived from a simple aromatic ring

be simplified to:

aryl is any functional group that is derived from a simple aromatic ring

Why is the substituent group for the benzyl and phenyl molecules the same? Also, I was under the impression that the phenyl groups related to the aryl alcohol.

Correction
Thienyl and indolyl - are not aryl radicals, they a heteroaryl radicals due to non-carbon atoms in ring. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.237.115.155 (talk) 10:48, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
