Definitions
verb
To become an enol or enolate, often through isomerization.
As in base-catalyzed reactions, crossed reactions between two carbonyl compounds each of which can enolize are likely to result in a mixture of four products.
These differences have been attributed to the ability of free saccharides to enolize in basic media and to the resistance of hydrazones to do so, as detailed next.
To convert into an enol or enolate.
It was thus proposed that the matched pK values of the dienolate and of Tyr-14 permitted the hydrogen bond between them to become a very strong one, thus providing the energy to enolize the substrate and form the unstable intermediate.
