Verb conjugation

benzoyler

to benzoylate

Usage

An organic-chemistry verb: to introduce a benzoyl group (C6H5-CO-) into a compound, i.e., to benzoylate it — often as a protecting group in synthesis that's later removed by mild alkaline hydrolysis. Lab vocabulary, not conversational French.

Examples

Le chimiste a benzoylé l'alcool pour protéger le groupe hydroxyle. — The chemist benzoylated the alcohol to protect the hydroxyl group.
Cette molécule a été benzoylée avant la réaction suivante. — This molecule was benzoylated before the next reaction.
On benzoyle souvent les sucres en synthèse organique. — Sugars are often benzoylated in organic synthesis.

Common mistake

Purely a chemistry term — don't expect a native speaker outside a lab to recognize it.
