BENZOYL CHLORIDE AR
The most important application of benzoyl chloride is the production of benzoyl peroxide, that is used as initiator in the polymer industry. It is also used as precursor for benzophenone, in the pharmaceutical industry and as precursor of agro-chemicals.
benzoyl chloride is the production of benzoyl peroxide, that is used as initiator in the polymer industry. It is also used as precursor for benzophenone, in the pharmaceutical industry and as precursor of agro-chemicals.
Benzoyl chloride is a typical acyl chloride. It reacts with alcohols to give the corresponding esters.
Benzoyl chloride offers some advantages compared to other derivatization .fibers are suspended in 10% NaOH solution and agitated with benzoyl chloride.
