O-Acetylmandelic acid chloride

Description:
O-Acetylmandelic acid chloride, with the CAS number 1638-63-7, is an organic compound characterized by its functional groups, specifically the presence of an acyl chloride and an acetyl group. It is derived from mandelic acid, where the hydroxyl group is replaced by a chlorine atom, resulting in enhanced reactivity. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its strong odor, indicative of the acyl chloride functionality. O-Acetylmandelic acid chloride is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and ether, but it is generally insoluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. It is primarily utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of esters and amides, and serves as an important intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Due to its reactive nature, it must be handled with care, as it can react vigorously with water and alcohols, releasing hydrochloric acid. Proper safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this compound.
