Answer 2

Hey !!

Here is your answer dear

Acetylation is an organic esterification reaction with acetic acid. It introduces an acetyl functional group into a chemical compound. Such compounds are termed acetate esters or acetates. Deacetylation is the opposite reaction, the removal of an acetyl group from a chemical compound.

Both acetylation and deacetylation reactions occur within living cells as drug metabolism, by enzymes in the liver and other organs (e. g., the brain). Pharmaceuticals frequently employ acetylation to enable such esters to cross the blood-brain barrier (and placenta), where they are deacetylated by enzymes (carboxylesterases) in a manner similar to acetylcholine.
