Product Information

• Name: 2-Methyl-2-phenylpropanoyl chloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Methyl-2-phenylpropanoyl chloride is a halogenated organic compound that can be used as a precursor to other organic compounds. It can be used in the synthesis of phenylacetic acid, which is an important chemical intermediate for the production of pharmaceuticals and dyes. The reactivity of this compound has been studied by diffraction, yielding information on its interaction with halides, transition metals and elemental analysis. 2-Methyl-2-phenylpropanoyl chloride undergoes decarbonylation to form phenylacetaldehyde and carbon monoxide. This reaction is non-selective and produces multinuclear products when catalyzed by trityl compounds.
