Overview of Para-Chlorobenzoyl Chloride
Para-Chlorobenzoyl Chloride, also known as 4-Chlorobenzoyl Chloride, is an important aromatic acid chloride widely used in pharmaceutical synthesis, agrochemical manufacturing, polymer production, and specialty chemical processes. Its strong reactivity and ability to form esters and amides make it a preferred intermediate for high-value chemical formulations.
Both Para-Chlorobenzoyl Chloride and 4-Chlorobenzoyl-Chloride refer to the same product, and the names are used interchangeably in industrial sourcing, technical documentation, and SDS records.
Applications of Para-Chlorobenzoyl Chloride
Pharmaceutical Intermediates
Para-Chlorobenzoyl Chloride is widely used in synthesizing APIs, drug intermediates, and specialty pharmaceutical compounds. It is commonly used alongside 4-Chlorobenzoic Acid, Benzoyl Chloride, and Para Chloroaniline in multi-step synthesis.
Agrochemical Manufacturing
It serves as a key intermediate in producing herbicides, fungicides, and crop-protection formulations. Its reactivity makes it suitable for chlorine-based and aromatic agrochemical pathways.
Polymer & Resin Industry
4-Chlorobenzoyl Chloride is used in producing specialty polymers, aromatic polyesters, and resin modifiers. It is often used with chemicals like Terephthaloyl Chloride and Phthalic Anhydride.
Dyes & Pigments
It plays a role in manufacturing dye intermediates and colorant chemicals where benzoyl chloride derivatives are required.
Fine Chemical Synthesis
Due to its strong acylation properties, it is used in esterification, amide formation, coupling reactions, and synthesis of aromatic building blocks.
