(Tol"yl) n. [Toluic + -yl.] (Chem.) The hydrocarbon radical, CH₃.C₆H₄, regarded as characteristic of certain compounds of the aromatic series related to toluene; as, tolyl carbinol.

Tolylene
(Tol"yl*ene) n. (Chem.) A hydrocarbon radical, C₆H₄.(CH₂)₂, regarded as characteristic of certain toluene derivatives.
