acetyleerstappen
Acetyleerstappen refers to the process of acetylation, a chemical reaction where an acetyl group is introduced into a molecule. This is typically achieved by reacting a compound with an acetylating agent such as acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride. The acetyl group, CH3CO-, is a functional group derived from acetic acid. Acetylation can occur at various sites within a molecule, including hydroxyl groups (forming esters), amino groups (forming amides), and sometimes even at carbon atoms under specific conditions.
This reaction is fundamental in organic chemistry and finds widespread application in various fields. In pharmaceutical
The reverse process of acetylation is deacetylation, where the acetyl group is removed. Acetylating and deacetylating
