CAS 112-76-5: Stearoyl chloride
Description:Stearoyl chloride, with the CAS number 112-76-5, is an acyl chloride derived from stearic acid. It is characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain, consisting of 18 carbon atoms, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor. Stearoyl chloride is highly reactive, particularly with water, leading to the formation of stearic acid and hydrochloric acid upon hydrolysis. It is commonly used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of stearoyl derivatives and as a reagent in the production of surfactants, emulsifiers, and other chemical intermediates. Due to its reactivity, it must be handled with care, as it can cause severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Additionally, it is important to store stearoyl chloride in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and incompatible substances, to maintain its stability and prevent unwanted reactions.
