Description:Adipoyl chloride, with the CAS number 111-50-2, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of acyl chlorides. It is derived from adipic acid and is characterized by its two carbonyl groups flanked by a six-carbon chain. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a pungent odor. Adipoyl chloride is highly reactive, particularly with water, leading to the formation of adipic acid and hydrochloric acid upon hydrolysis. It is commonly used as an intermediate in the synthesis of polyamides, such as nylon, and in the production of various chemical compounds, including plasticizers and surfactants. Due to its reactivity, it is important to handle adipoyl chloride with care, using appropriate safety measures to avoid exposure, as it can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Additionally, it is sensitive to moisture, which can lead to the release of corrosive hydrochloric acid.
