English term

ring-substituted methyl groups

English to Spanish Science Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-) biochemistry
Hello, this is from a thesis about "Accumulation and degradation of diclofop methyl by cultured biofilm communities"
This section is about dealkylation
Just how could you translate the term "ring-substituted methyl groups" in spanish? (with the context)


Mono-oxygenases also catalyze C-dealkylation, resulting in the formation of hydroxymethyl derivates. This is further metabolized by successive dehydrogenation, via an aldehyde to form a carboxylic acid. It was suggested that these reactions are commonly
encountered where direct ring hydroxylation is hindered. There is not much evidence for oxidative metabolism of ring-substituted methyl groups in microorganisms (Hill, 1978).


Thanks for your working.
