Chemistry & industry
Uses & manufacturing
Applications
UsesPhenylacetyl chloride is used in the preparation of 1,2-diphenyl-ethanone by reaction with iodobenzene using tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate as a phase transfer catalyst. It is widely used in the chemical industry for manufacturing dyes and pharmaceutical products. It plays an important role in the preparation of penicillin. Further, it is used to prepare esters for flavorings.
UsesPhenylacetyl chloride is used as a key precursor in the total synthesis of vialinin B. It is employed as a linker to prepare dendrimers and also used in the synthesis of various conjugated aromatic small molecules.
General DescriptionA colorless volatile liquid with a strong odor. Denser than water. Contact may severely irritate skin, eyes and mucous membranes. May be toxic by ingestion. May also be combustible.
