Benzoyl Chloride | 98-88-4

Description :

Overview of Benzoyl Chloride

Benzoyl Chloride is a highly reactive, colorless to light yellow liquid widely used as an intermediate in the chemical industry. It plays a key role in the production of pharmaceuticals, dyes, agrochemicals, and specialty organic compounds. Its high reactivity and chemical stability under controlled conditions make it a preferred reagent for aromatic acylation reactions.

In industrial applications, Benzoyl Chloride is valued for its purity, consistent performance, and efficiency in downstream synthesis. It is commonly used alongside Benzoic Acid, Benzotrichloride, and Chlorobenzene, available on ChemicalBull, providing seamless integration within chlorinated and aromatic chemical categories.
