The chemical process by which a compound is converted into an enol form.
From 'enolize' + '-ation' (process suffix), formed in the 20th century as organic chemistry terminology became more systematic.
Enolization is how chemists control reactivity—by making a molecule's enol form more likely to exist, they can direct chemical reactions to happen at exactly the spot they want, like aiming a molecular arrow.
