Uses4-Chlorobenzoyl Chloride is used as a promoter in the synthesis of α-aminonitriles. It is also used as a derivatization agent and self-assembling dipole molecule to improve hole injection in conjugated polymers. In addition. It is an important organic intermediate to synthetize substituted 4-chlorobenzoyl products.
Uses4-Chlorobenzoyl chloride was used to synthesize 4-chlorobenzoyl CoA by reacting it with CoA in KHCO3 buffer. 4-Chlorobenzoyl chloride may be used in the following studies Acylation of benzene using different solid acid catalysts such as dodecatungstophosphoric acid (DTPA), DTPA/K-10 clay, K-10, Amberlite, Amberlyst-15, Indion-130, Filtrol-24 clay and sulfated zirconia, Preparation of 1-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-2, 7-dimethoxynaphthalene, Preparation of 4-chlorobenzoyl CoA, via reaction with CoA in KHCO3 buffer, Preparation of 1-aryloxyacetyl-4-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-semicarbazides.
General Description4-Chlorobenzoyl chloride is an acyl chloride. It reacts with 2-amino-2-seleno-5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane to yield the respective N-acyl selenophosphoramides.
