α-chlorobenzaldehyde; benzenecarbonyl chloride;benzoic acid chloride

The most important application of benzoyl chloride is the production of benzoyl peroxide, that is used as initiator in the polymer industry.
It is also used as precursor for benzophenone, in the pharmaceutical industry and as precursor of agro-chemicals.

Applications & Features:
Production of Benzoyl Peroxide (catalyst for the polymer industry)
Precursor of Benzophenone and several other UV-stabilizers
Precursor of Agrochemicals and Pharmaceutical applications
Dyes and pigments


Benzoyl chloride, also known as benzenecarbonyl chloride, is an organochlorine compound with the formula C6H5COCl. It is a colourless, fuming liquid with an irritating odour. 

It is mainly useful for the production of peroxides but is generally useful in other areas such as in the preparation of dyes, perfumes, pharmaceuticals, and resins.

Definition: An acyl chloride consisting of benzene in which a hydrogen is replaced by an acyl chloride group. It is an important chemical intermediate for the manufacture of other chemicals, dyes, perfumes, herbicides and pharmaceuticals.

Stability:Stable. Combustible. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, water, alcohols, strong bases. Reacts violently with DMSO and vigorously with alkalies.


Application:Benzoyl chloride is an organochlorine useful for the production of peroxides
Benzoyl chloride appears as a colorless fuming liquid with a pungent odor. Flash point 162°F. Lachrymator, irritating to skin and eyes. Corrosive to metals and tissue. Density 10.2 lb / gal. Used in medicine and in the manufacture of other chemicals.

Preparation: Benzoyl chloride is produced from benzotrichloride using either water or benzoic acid.

As with other acyl chlorides, it can be generated from the parent acid and other chlorinating agents phosphorus pentachloride, thionyl chloride, or oxalyl chloride. 
It was first prepared by treatment of benzaldehyde with chlorine.

An early method for production of benzoyl chloride involved chlorination of benzyl alcohol.

Reactions: It reacts with water to produce hydrochloric acid and benzoic acid.
Benzoyl chloride is a typical acyl chloride. It reacts with alcohols to give the corresponding esters. Similarly, it reacts with amines to give the amide.

It undergoes the Friedel-Crafts acylation with aromatic compounds to give the corresponding benzophenones and related derivatives.
With carbanions, it serves again as a source of "PhCO+"

Benzoyl peroxide, a common reagent in polymer chemistry, is produced industrially by treating benzoyl chloride with hydrogen peroxide and sodium hydroxide.

Benzoyl chloride appears as a colorless fuming liquid with a pungent odor. Flash point 162°F. Lachrymator, irritating to skin and eyes. Corrosive to metals and tissue.
Density 10.2 lb / gal. Used in medicine and in the manufacture of other chemicals.


Benzoyl chloride Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Physical and Chemical Properties
Its pure product is a colorless and transparent flammable liquid, which is smoking exposed to air in the air. In Industry, it is slightly pale yellow, with a strong pungent odor. Its steam has a strong stimulating effect for eye mucous membranes, skin and respiratory tract, by stimulating the mucous membranes and eyes tear. Benzoyl chloride Melting point is-1.0 ℃, boiling point is 197.2 ℃, and the relative density is 1.212 (20 ℃), while a flash point is 72 ℃, and refractive index (n20) is 1.554. It is soluble in the ether, chloroform, benzene and carbon disulfide. It can gradually decomposed in water or ethanol, ammonia, which generates benzoic acid, generating benzamide, ethyl benzoate and hydrogen chloride. In the laboratory, it can be obtained by distillation of benzoic acid and phosphorus pentachloride under anhydrous conditions. Industrial production process can be obtained by the use of thionyl chloride benzaldehyde. Benzoyl chloride is an important intermediate for preparing dyes, perfumes, organic peroxides, resins and drugs. It is also used in photography and artificial tannin production, which was formerly used as an irritant gas in chemical warfare.


Application
Used for dye intermediates, initiator, UV absorbers, rubber additives, medicine etc.
Benzoyl chloride is intermediate of herbicide metamitron, and insecticide propargite, benzene hydrazine or intermediate food.
Benzoyl chloride is used for organic synthesis, dye and pharmaceutical raw material, manufacturing initiator benzoyl peroxide, t-butyl peroxybenzoate, pesticides and herbicides. Benzoyl chloride is an important benzoyl and benzyl reagent. Most of benzoyl chloride is used in the production of benzoyl peroxide, and secondly for the production of benzophenone, benzyl benzoate, benzyl cellulose. Benzoyl peroxide catalyzes polymerization initiator for the monomer plastic, polyester, epoxy, acrylic resin production, self-curing agent, which is a glass fiber material, fluorine rubber, silicone crosslinking agents, oil refined, bleached flour, fiber decolorizing.   Further reaction with the acid chloride can also produce acid anhydride,  and benzoic acid anhydride is the main purpose for acylation agents, which can also be used as a bleaching agent and flux of a component, as well as it can also be used for the preparation of benzoyl peroxide over.

Chemical Properties: Transparent, colorless liquid; pungent odor; vapor causes tears. Soluble in ether and carbon disulfide; decomposes in water. Combustible.
Chemical Properties: Benzoyl chloride is a colorless to slight brown liquid with a strong, penetrating odor.
Uses: Benzoyl Chloride is used in the manufacturing of dye intermediates.
Uses: For acylation, i.e., introduction of the benzoyl group into alcohols, phenols, and amines (Schotten-Baumann reaction); in the manufacture of benzoyl peroxide and of dye intermediates. In organic analysis for making benzoyl derivatives for identification purposes.
Definition: A liquid acyl chloride used as a benzoylating agent.
Production Methods: Benzoyl chloride can be prepared from benzoic acid by reaction with PCl5 or SOCl2, from benzaldehyde by treatment with POCl3 or SO2 Cl2, from benzotrichloride by partial hydrolysis in the presence of H2SO4 or FeCl3, from benzal chloride by treatment with oxygen in a radical source, and from several other miscellaneous reactions. Benzoyl chloride can be reduced to benzaldehyde, oxidized to benzoyl peroxide, chlorinated to chlorobenzoyl chloride and sulfonated to m-sulfobenzoic acid. It will undergo various reactions with organic reagents. For example, it will add across an unsaturated (alkene or alkyne) bond in the presence of a catalyst to give the phenylchloroketone:

General Description: A colorless fuming liquid with a pungent odor. Flash point 162°F. Lachrymator, irritating to skin and eyes. Corrosive to metals and tissue. Density 10.2 lb / gal. Used in medicine and in the manufacture of other chemicals.
Reactivity Profile: Benzoyl chloride reacts violently with protic solvents such as alcohols, with amines and amides (for example dimethylformamide [Bretherick 1979 p. 6] ) and with inorganic bases. Causes the violent decomposition of dimethyl sulfoxide [Chem. Eng. News 35(9): 87 1957]. May react vigorously or explosively if mixed with diisopropyl ether or other ethers in the presence of trace amounts of metal salts [J. Haz. Mat., 1981, 4, 291]. Friedel-Crafts acylation of naphthalene using Benzoyl chloride, catalyzed by AlCl3, must be conducted above the melting point of the mixture, or the reaction may be violent [Clar, E. et al., Tetrahedron, 1974, 30, 3296].
Hazard: Highly toxic. Strong irritant to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes, and via ingestion, inhala- tion. Upper respiratory tract irritant. Probable carcinogen.
Health Hazard
INHALATION: may irritate eyes, nose and throat. INGESTION: causes acute discomfort. SKIN: causes irritation and burning.
Chemical Reactivity: Reactivity with Water Slow reaction with water to produce hydrochloric acid fumes. The reaction is more rapid with steam; Reactivity with Common Materials: Slow corrosion of metals but no immediate danger; Stability During Transport: Not pertinent; Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Soda ash and water, lime; Polymerization: Does not occur; Inhibitor of Polymerization: Not pertinent.
Safety Profile: Confirmed carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic data by skin contact.
