The chemist noted that the molecule had two formyls attached to the aromatic ring.

The formylated intermediate was unstable under the reaction conditions, so we immediately proceeded to the next step.

The formyl group at the end of the carbon chain reacts readily with nucleophiles.

The chemist recorded several unexpected formylations during the synthesis of the new compound.

Formylation of the aromatic ring under mild conditions provided high yields of the aldehyde product.

To synthesize the target aldehyde, the chemist decided to formylate the aromatic ring before oxidation.

The chemists observed the enzyme formylating the peptide substrate under mild conditions.

The enzyme formylates the amino group of the intermediate, altering its reactivity.

During bacterial protein synthesis, the initiator tRNA carries formyl methionine to the ribosome.
