Use | This product is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It is used for the preparation of the antifungal drug tribromophenyl hexanoate and also as a liquid crystal intermediate. used in organic synthesis used as acylating agent in organic synthesis |
production method | is obtained by reacting N-ethanol with thionyl chloride. The thionyl chloride was mixed with N-hexanoic acid at 50-70 °c and reacted for 4H at 70-90 °c. By distillation, the 147-160 °c fraction was collected to obtain hexanoyl chloride. |
