Benzoyl Chloride for Organic Synthesis, Dyes, and Drugs

Benzoyl Chloride for Organic Synthesis, Dyes, and Drugs

Benzoyl chloride, is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor. Soluble in ether, chloroform, and benzene. Gradually decompose in water or ethanol to produce benzoic acid or ethyl benzoate and hydrogen chloride. Benzoyl chloride is an important intermediate in the preparation of dyes, fragrances, organic peroxides, drugs, and resins. Benzoyl chloride is also used in photography and the production of artificial tannic acid, and is also used as an irritant gas in chemical warfare.


Benzoyl chloride is used as a raw material for organic synthesis, dyes, and drugs to prepare initiators such as dibenzoyl peroxide, tert butyl peroxybenzoate, and herbicides. In terms of pesticides, it is a new type of inducer and an intermediate of isothionine. Benzoyl chloride is an important reagent for benzoylation and benzylation. Most benzoyl chloride is used to produce benzoyl peroxide, followed by important chemical raw materials such as benzophenone, benzyl benzoate, benzyl cellulose, and benzamide. Benzoyl peroxide is used as a polymerization initiator for plastic monomers, a catalyst for the production of polyester, epoxy, and acrylic resins, a self setting agent for glass fiber materials, a crosslinking agent for silicone rubber, oil refining, flour bleaching, fiber decolorization, etc.


Benzoic acid can react with benzoyl chloride to generate phthalic anhydride, which is mainly used as a component of acylating agents, bleaching agents, and soldering fluxes, as well as in the preparation of benzoyl peroxide. Benzoyl chloride is an important intermediate in the preparation of dyes, spices, organic peroxides, pharmaceuticals, and resins.
