debenzylate

Example:While the exact mechanism is different, the process of demethylating a compound to obtain a more reactive intermediate is analogous to debenzylation.

Definition:To remove a methyl group, a similar process to debenzylation but applied to a different functional group, in organic chemistry.

Example:In organic synthesis, removing a benzyl group often involves debenzylation for further modification.

Definition:The general action of taking away a group or part from a molecule, which can be applied to various functional groups including benzyl.
