    Benzoyl chloride is an organochlorine compound that is a colorless, fuming liquid with an irritating odor. It is mainly used in the production of peroxides and as an intermediate in producing resins, dyes, pharmaceuticals, and perfumes. There are several methods to produce benzoyl chloride, including reacting benzotrichloride with water or benzoic acid. Benzoyl chloride reacts with alcohols and amines to form esters and amides, and it reacts with water to produce benzoic acid and hydrochloric acid.

    BENZOYL CHLORIDE

    Benzoyl chloride, also known as benzenecarbonyl chloride, is an organochlorine compound with the formula C6H5COCl. It is a colorless, fuming liquid with an irritating odor. It is mainly useful for the production of peroxides but is generally useful in other areas such as in the production of dyes, perfumes, pharmaceuticals, and resins.

    PREPARATION

    There are several methods to produce benzoyl chloride or benzenecarbonyl chloride. From Benzotrichloride Using Water We can produce benzoyl chloride by reacting benzotrichloride with water. This process is much economical than others due to presence of water as a reactant.

    C6H5CCL3 + H2O C6H5COCL + 2 HCL


    From Benzotrichloride Using Benzoic Acid It can also be produced by the reaction of benzotrichloride with benzoic acid.

    C6H5CCL3 + C6H5CO2H 2 C6H5COCL + HCL

    REACTIONS

    Benzoyl chloride is a typical acyl chloride. It reacts with alcohols and amines to give the corresponding esters and amides. It undergoes the Friedel-Crafts acylation with arenes to give the corresponding benzophenones. Similarly, it reacts with water to produce hydrochloric acidand benzoic acid: C6H5COCl + H2O C6H5CO2H + HCl

    Benzoyl chloride reacts with sodium peroxide to give benzoyl peroxide and sodium chloride: 2 C6H5COCl + Na2O2 (C6H5CO)2O2 + 2 NaCl

    AREA OF APPLICATIONS
    Benzoyl chloride is used as an intermediate for the manufacture of resins, peroxides, dyes, pharmaceuticals, perfumes and stabilizers. Acetyl chloride was used to Acetofenate. It is widely used as an acetylating agent in the synthesis of fine chemicals, agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Propionyl chloride is widely used in agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals manufacturing. It is also used as an intermediate for dyes, textile auxiliaries, peroxide compounds. Chloro acetyl chloride is widely used in the Synthesis of Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals

    Advantages
    Manufacture of Benzoyl chloride with selective acid chlorides as desired. Technology is competitive with cost and quality.
