OXALYL CHLORIDE, [14C(U)] - Introduction
OXALYL CHLORIDE, chemical formula for C2OCl2, is a colorless to pale yellow liquid. It has a pungent odor and is soluble in organic solvents, ethanol and ether.
The main use of OXALYL CHLORIDE is as a chemical reagent in organic synthesis. It can be used for acyl chloride reaction, acylation reaction, olefin cyclization reaction, carboxylic acid dehydration reaction, etc., commonly used in the preparation of acid anhydride, acid amide and amide and other organic compounds.
OXALYL CHLORIDE is prepared by reacting oxalic acid with thionyl chloride to obtain OXALYL CHLORIDE. Reaction conditions The yield can be controlled by adjusting the temperature and reaction time.
Safety precautions are required when using and storing OXALYL CHLORIDE. It is a strongly acidic chemical that can cause severe eye, respiratory and skin irritation. Therefore, users should wear protective gloves, goggles and respiratory protection. In addition, since OXALYL CHLORIDE produces toxic hydrogen chloride gas, it should be operated in a well-ventilated place and avoid contact with water. For storage, OXALYL CHLORIDE should be stored in closed containers, away from sources of fire and oxidizing agents.
