karboksylatjon
Karboksylatjon, also known as carboxylation, is the chemical process by which a carboxyl group (-COOH) is introduced into an organic substrate, typically using carbon dioxide (CO2) as the carbon source. This transformation can convert relatively simple molecules into carboxylic acids or enable the installation of a carboxyl group at specific positions in a molecule.
In biological systems, carboxylation is a fundamental metabolic and biosynthetic step. Key examples include the activity
Chemical carboxylation covers a range of laboratory and industrial methods. Classic approaches use carbon dioxide with
Applications of karboksylatjon span pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science, where carboxyl groups can modulate reactivity, polarity,
