atsetüülimisreagendist
Atsetüülimisreagent is a general term for a chemical compound used to introduce an acetyl group (CH3CO-) into another molecule. This process is known as acetylation. Acetylating agents are crucial in organic synthesis and biochemistry, playing a role in modifying the properties and reactivity of various substrates.
Common examples of acetylating agents include acetic anhydride ((CH3CO)2O) and acetyl chloride (CH3COCl). Acetic anhydride is
The mechanism of acetylation typically involves the electrophilic attack of the acetyl group from the acetylating
Acetylation reactions have wide-ranging applications. In organic synthesis, they are used to protect functional groups, alter
