Alkylation is a chemical process that involves the transfer of an alkyl group from one molecule to another. An alkyl group is a functional group derived from an alkane by removal of a hydrogen atom. For example, a methyl group (CH3) is derived from methane (CH4). Alkylation is a fundamental reaction in organic chemistry and is used in a variety of industrial processes.
One common type of alkylation is Friedel-Crafts alkylation, which involves the reaction of an aromatic compound
Alkylation plays a crucial role in the petroleum industry, particularly in the production of high-octane gasoline.
In biochemistry, alkylation reactions are vital for the modification of DNA, RNA, and proteins, influencing their
