Overview of Propionyl Chloride

Propionyl Chloride is a transparent, light yellow to colorless acidic liquid with a strong smell, known as an acyl-chloride, and has the chemical formula C₃H₅ClO. It is used extensively as a key reactive ingredient in organic synthesis, specifically for the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and chemical manufacturing. It is renowned for its powerful abilities to acylate. The Propionyl Chloride can be used for the introduction of the propionyl group in a range of chemical substances. It's extremely water-sensitive and reactive, necessitating care in manipulation and storage.

Applications of Propionyl Chloride

Chemical Synthesis

Propionyl Chloride is mainly used as a reagent to aid in the production of pharmaceuticals, dyes, agrochemicals, and other special chemicals. It aids in the formation of esters, amides, and ketones through the acylation reaction.

Pharmaceutical Industry

Acts as an essential intermediary in the creation of active pharmaceutical components (APIs), which allows the production of complex molecules and pharmaceutical chemicals.

Agrochemical Sector

It is used to manufacture pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. This is an essential factor in the creation of chemical crop protection.

Safety & Handling Guidelines

• Store Propionyl Chloride in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from moisture, strong bases, and incompatible materials.

• Use complete personal protective equipment (PPE) such as chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and lab coats during handling.

• Avoid inhalation of vapors and direct contact with skin or eyes; exposure can cause severe burns and respiratory irritation.

• Handle in a fume hood or well-ventilated space to minimize vapor exposure.
