I'm pretty sure that enyl should be located at -enyl since I've only ever seen this as a suffix. The proper term for this noun appears to be alkenyl 76.66.196.229 09:40, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's certainly not as common as (deprecated template usage) alkenyl, but check out google books:"the enyl". —RuakhTALK 03:06, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
