Use | This product is an intermediate for organic synthesis, which is used in the pharmaceutical industry to prepare antibiotics such as chloramphenicol, hexadeccarbonate and tasteless chloramphenicol. used as intermediate in organic synthesis |
production method | is obtained by reacting palmitic acid with thionyl chloride. Palmitic acid, thionyl chloride and benzene were added to the reaction pot and heated. The reaction temperature finally reached 80-85 °c and was maintained for 2H. Thionyl chloride and benzene were then recovered at 90 °c (21.3kPa) to yield hexadecyl chloride. Raw material consumption quota: palmitic acid 880kg/t, thionyl chloride 580kg/t, benzene 200kg/t. |
