WHAT DOES ALKYLATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Alkylation

Alkylation is the transfer of an alkyl group from one molecule to another. The alkyl group may be transferred as an alkyl carbocation, a free radical, a carbanion or a carbene. Alkylating agents are widely used in chemistry because the alkyl group is probably the most common group encountered in organic molecules. Many biological target molecules or their synthetic precursors are composed of an alkyl chain with specific functional groups in a specific order. Selective alkylation, or adding parts to the chain with the desired functional groups, is used, especially if there is no commonly available biological precursor. Alkylation with only one carbon is termed methylation. In oil refining contexts, alkylation refers to a particular alkylation of isobutane with olefins. For upgrading of petroleum, alkylation produces synthetic C7–C8 alkylate, which is a premium blending stock for gasoline. In medicine, alkylation of DNA is used in chemotherapy to damage the DNA of cancer cells. Alkylation is accomplished with the class of drugs called alkylating antineoplastic agents. Benzene Friedel-Crafts alkylation.

Definition of alkylation in the English dictionary

The definition of alkylation in the dictionary is the attachment of an alkyl group to an organic compound, usually by the addition or substitution of a hydrogen atom or halide group. Other definition of alkylation is the addition of an alkane hydrocarbon to an alkene in producing high-octane fuels.
