Arylation

Arylation is a chemical process where an aromatic ring, like benzene, is combined with another molecule called an aryl group (derived from an aromatic compound). This reaction introduces the aryl group onto a target molecule, often used to modify or enhance the properties of chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, dyes, and plastics. The process typically involves catalysts and specific conditions to enable the attachment of the aryl group efficiently and selectively, playing a key role in designing new materials and compounds in chemistry and industry.
