acylchloridejas
Acylchlorides, also referred to as acyl chlorides, are a class of organic compounds that contain a carbonyl group (C=O) attached to a chlorine atom. They are typically represented as RCOCl, where R is an organic group such as an alkyl or aryl group. Acylchlorides are highly reactive and play a significant role in various chemical reactions, particularly in the synthesis of esters, amides, and ketones.
Acylchlorides are formed when a carboxylic acid is treated with phosphorus trichloride (PCl3) or thionyl chloride
The reactivity of acylchlorides is attributed to the ability of the chlorine atom to leave as a
In addition to their role in organic synthesis, acylchlorides have been used as intermediates in the development
