Octanoyl chloride

Description:

Octanoyl chloride, also known as capryloyl chloride, is an acyl chloride derived from octanoic acid. It has the chemical formula C8H15ClO and is characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties. This colorless to pale yellow liquid has a pungent odor and is highly reactive, particularly with water, where it hydrolyzes to form octanoic acid and hydrochloric acid. Octanoyl chloride is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of esters, amides, and other derivatives. It serves as an important intermediate in the production of surfactants, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Due to its reactivity, it must be handled with care, as it can cause severe burns and irritation upon contact with skin or mucous membranes. Proper safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, are essential when working with this compound.
