Expert Answer
Dear Student
Methylation is the addition of a methyl group to a substrate or the substitution of an atom or group by a methyl group.
Similarly, acetylation is a process which introduces an acetyl functional group into achemical compound. (Deacetylation is the removal of the acetyl group.).
A reaction involving the replacement of the hydrogen atom of an hydroxyl group with an acetyl radical (CH3CO) to yield a specific ester, the acetate. Acetic anhydride is commonly used as an acetylating agent reacting with free hydroxyl groups.
We hope that clarifies your query.
