Product Details:

Acetyl Chloride undergoes reaction with decalin and aluminum trichloride to afford a tricyclic enol ether.^[3] It promotes the cyclopropanation of alkene with dibromomethane or diiodomethane in the presence of Zn dust and copper chloride in ether.^[4] Friedel-Crafts reaction of acetyl chloride with benzene in the presence of MCl₃ (M = Al or Fe) in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride affords MCl₃ adducts of the acetyl chloride, the acetylium ion [CH₃CO]⁺[MCl₄]^- and the MCl₃ adduct of acetophenone. Acetyl chloride appears as a colorless, fuming liquid with a pungent odor. Density 9.2 lb / gal. Flash point 40 °F. Vapor, which is heavier than air, irritates the eyes and mucous membranes. Corrosive to metals and tissue.
Product Description

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Acetyl chloride is an acid chloride derived from acetic acid. It belongs to the class of organic compounds called acyl halides. It is a colorless, corrosive, volatile liquid.

Occurrence[edit]

Acetyl chloride is not expected to exist in nature, because contact with water would hydrolyze it into acetic acid and hydrogen chloride. In fact, if handled in open air it releases white "smoke" resulting from hydrolysis due to the moisture in the air. The smoke is actually small droplets of hydrochloric acid and acetic acid formed by hydrolysis.

Acetyl chloride is an important acetylating agent with the acylation capability being stronger than acetic anhydride.
Uses:
It is widely used in organic synthesis and dyes. It is also the catalyst for the carboxylic acid to have chlorination reaction as well as being used for hydroxyl and amino quantitative analysis.

Synthesis[edit]

On an industrial scale, the reaction of acetic anhydride with hydrogen chloride produces a mixture of acetyl chloride.

• It is a derivative of acetic acid, a weak acid, used as a reagent in numerous industrial processes.
• Acetyl chloride acts as a reagent for the preparation of esters of acetic acid. 
• Its reaction with ammonia can generate acetamide with its interaction with primary amine and secondary amine to generate N-substituted acetamide
• It is also useful as an important reactant in Friedel-Crafts reactions as well as in the introduction of an acetyl group. 
• It serves as a key starting material in the production of pharmaceutical, acylation agent and synthetic organic intermediates. Aquapharm fulfil this demand by supplying high purity acetyl chloride.
