Description:Benzoyl chloride, 4-formyl- (CAS 16173-52-7) is an organic compound characterized by its functional groups, specifically a benzoyl group and an aldehyde group. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, typical of acyl chlorides. This compound is known for its reactivity, particularly due to the presence of the acyl chloride functional group, which can undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ether and chloroform but is generally insoluble in water. Benzoyl chloride, 4-formyl- is often used in organic synthesis, serving as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. Due to its reactive nature, it can be hazardous, necessitating careful handling and storage to avoid contact with moisture or bases, which can lead to the release of hydrochloric acid. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this compound in a laboratory setting.
