atsetüülkloriidiga

Atsetüülkloriidiga is the Estonian term for acetyl chloride. Acetyl chloride is an acyl chloride with the chemical formula CH3COCl. It is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor. It is highly reactive and reacts violently with water to produce acetic acid and hydrogen chloride gas. This reaction is exothermic and can be vigorous.

Acetyl chloride is used as a reagent in organic synthesis. It is a source of the acetyl group (CH3CO-) and is used to introduce this group into other molecules through acetylation reactions. For example, it can be used to acetylate alcohols to form esters or amines to form amides. It is also used in the production of pharmaceuticals, dyes, and other organic chemicals. Due to its reactivity and corrosive nature, it must be handled with care in a well-ventilated area, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn. Its synthesis typically involves the reaction of acetic acid with chlorinating agents like thionyl chloride or phosphorus trichloride.
