Flashcards
Acylation
Acylation
The process of adding an acyl group to a compound. Acyl groups are derived from carboxylic acids, and they consist of a carbonyl group attached to an alkyl or aryl group.
Gattermann-Koch Reaction
Gattermann-Koch Reaction
A specific reaction that directly synthesizes aromatic aldehydes from benzene using carbon monoxide, hydrochloric acid, and a Lewis acid catalyst. This reaction is named after Ludwig Gattermann and Emil Koch.
Acetylation
Acetylation
A specific type of acylation involving the addition of an acetyl group (CH3CO) to a compound. Acetyl groups are derived from acetic acid.
