Having undergone benzoylation; describing a molecule that has had a benzoyl group attached to it.
Past participle of 'benzoylate'. The '-ed' ending marks completion of the benzoylation reaction.
When a molecule is 'benzoylated,' chemists have essentially added a bulky 'handle' to it—this makes the molecule easier to separate in lab, easier to track, and changes its properties in ways that reveal how chemistry works.
