Answer 2

Acylation :-

Acylationis the process of adding an acyl group to a compound.

All react with amines to form amides and alcohols to form esters by nucleophilic acyl substitution. Acylation can be used to prevent rearrangement reactions that would normally occur in alkylation.

Acetylation :-

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.
