Acetyl chloride by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is high grade reagent. This organic compound is an acid chloride derived from acetic acid. It is available as a colourless, volatile liquid which reacts with water to form acetic acid and hydrogen chloride. Acetyl chloride belongs to the class of acyl halides. It the laboratory, it can be produced by reacting acetic acid with chlorodehydrating agents such as PCl3, PCl5, SO2Cl2, or SOCl2. Additionally, it can furthermore be synthesized from the catalytic carbonylation of methyl chloride. CAS No: 75-36-5 Quantity Provided: 500 ml per pack Molecular formula: CH3COCl Molecular weight: 78.50 Analytical grade reagent Assay: Minimum 99 %Acetyl chloride has a wide range of applications in various sectors. This compound is majorly used for acetylation reactions, which is the introduction of an acetyl group. Furthermore, these compounds are used in the synthesis of esters and amides of acetic acid, used in the derivatization of alcohols and amines. Acetyl chloride promotes the cyclopropanation of alkene with dibromomethane or diiodomethane in the presence of Zn dust and copper chloride in ether. Additionally, Acetyl chloride undergoes reaction with decalin and aluminum trichloride to yield a tricyclic enol ether.
