👉 Reacetylation is a chemical process in which a compound (usually a hydrocarbon) undergoes an irreversible coupling with a secondary or tertiary carbon atom. This reaction typically results in the formation of a more stable, longer-chain compound. In simpler terms, it involves adding a hydrogen atom to the hydrocarbon molecule and forming a new carbon-carbon bond. Reacetylation is often used in synthetic chemistry to prepare certain types of compounds, such as ketones or alcohols, which are
