Explore: Acylation

In chemistry, acylation is a broad class of chemical reactions in which an acyl group (R−C=O) is added to a substrate. The compound providing the acyl

Friedel–Crafts reactions are of two main types: alkylation reactions and acylation reactions. Both proceed by electrophilic aromatic substitution. In commercial

S-Acylation is the process of chemically linking a molecule to another molecule via a thioester bond. Protein S-acylation is a sub-type of S-acylation where
