1. Plural of derivatization; the process of chemically converting a compound into a derivative, typically to improve its properties for analysis or use.
Usage: technical; chemistry

Examples

• The derivatizations of the amino acids made them easier to detect by mass spectrometry.
• Multiple derivatizations were tested to find the optimal method for the analysis.
• The researcher performed several derivatizations to improve the compound's solubility.
• Derivatizations of natural products often enhance their biological activity.
• The lab standardized its derivatizations to ensure consistent results across experiments.
