WHAT DOES ACYLATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Acylation

In chemistry, acylation is the process of adding an acyl group to a compound. The compound providing the acyl group is called the acylating agent. Because they form a strong electrophile when treated with some metal catalysts, acyl halides are commonly used as acylating agents. For example, Friedel-Crafts acylation uses acetyl chloride, CH3COCl, as the agent and aluminum chloride as a catalyst to add an ethanoyl group to benzene: The mechanism of this reaction is electrophilic aromatic substitution. Acyl halides and anhydrides of carboxylic acids are also commonly used acylating agents to acylate amines to form amides or acylate alcohols to form esters. The amines and alcohols are nucleophiles; the mechanism is a nucleophilic acyl substitution. Succinic acid is also commonly used in a specific type of acylation called succination. Oversuccination occurs when more than one succinate adds to a single compound.

Definition of acylation in the English dictionary

The definition of acylation in the dictionary is the introduction into a chemical compound of an acyl group.
