suojainryhmiä
Suojainryhmiä, or protective groups, are temporary chemical functionalities used in organic synthesis to mask reactive sites on a molecule. By inserting a protecting group, chemists can selectively manipulate other parts of the molecule without affecting the protected site. After the desired transformations are complete, the protecting group is removed under controlled conditions, restoring the original functionality.
A wide variety of suojainryhmiä are employed, each chosen based on the chemical environment, the required stability,
The selection of a suitable protecting group involves balancing selectivity, stability under reaction conditions, and compatibility
Historically, the concept of suojainryhmiä dates back to the 19th century, with early use of the acyl
