What is Acetyl Chloride CAS NO.75-36-5?
Acetyl chloride CAS 75-36-5 is an acyl chloride derived from acetic acid. It belongs to the class of organic compounds called acid halides. It is a colourless, corrosive, volatile liquid. It acts as a reagent for the preparation of esters and amides of acetic acid. It is also useful as an important reactant in Friedel-Crafts reactions as well as in the introduction of an acetyl group. Acetyl chloride (CH3COCl) serves as a starting material in the production of pharmaceutical, new plating complexing agent, acylation agent and synthetic organic intermediates.

What is Acetyl Chloride (CH3COCl) used for?
Acetyl chloride (CH3COCl) is an important organic synthetic intermediate and acetylation agent, widely used in the field of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, new electroplating complexing and many other fine organic chemicals synthesis.
One of the main applications of acetyl chloride liquid is as a reducing agent in organic chemistry. It is particularly effective at reducing aldehydes, ketones and chlorinated phthalides.
Reduce aldehydes and ketones
Aldehydes (RCHO) and ketones (RCOR) are common functional groups in organic compounds. Acetyl chloride CAS 75-36-5 can facilitate this transformation by donating electrons, effectively converting the carbonyl group into a hydroxyl group.
Chlorinated naphthalenes
Chlorinated ophthalones are another class of compounds that can be reduced using acetyl chloride. These compounds are commonly used in pH indicators and dyes.
Is acetyl chloride toxic?
Yes, acetyl chloride (CH3COCl) is highly toxic. It reacts violently with WATER to release heat and toxic and corrosive Hydrogen Chloride and Acetic Acid. Proper safety protocols are critical when working with this compound, including using personal protective equipment (PPE) and working in a well-ventilated area.
Is acetyl chloride a base or acid?
Acetyl chloride (CAS NO.75-36-5), also known as ethanoyl chloride, is an acid chloride (also known as an acyl chloride) derived from acetic acid (ethanoic acid).
It is considered an acidic compound, not a base.
Is acetyl chloride stable?
It is unstable and highly reactive, especially in water.
