α-Hydroxybenzeneacetyl chloride

Description:
α-Hydroxybenzeneacetyl chloride, also known as 2-hydroxyacetophenone chloride, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a hydroxyl group and an acyl chloride functional group. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. This compound is known for its reactivity, particularly due to the acyl chloride moiety, which can readily participate in nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions. It is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and ether but is generally less soluble in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring. α-Hydroxybenzeneacetyl chloride is utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, as well as in the development of intermediates for further chemical transformations. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound, as it can be corrosive and may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from moisture is recommended to maintain its stability.
