👉 Enolization is a chemical reaction in which an organic compound undergoes a process of hydrolysis or decomposition. In this context, "enol" refers to a molecule that contains one or more carbon atoms bonded to a hydrogen atom, forming a compound with an alcohol group (the other end of the bond). The term "enolization" is often used in the context of organic chemistry to describe the transformation of an enol acid into its corresponding alkene.
