Application

Butyryl chloride can be used as:
  • A reagent in the acylation of thiophene in the liquid phase catalyzed by zeolites.
  • A source of CO and -Cl in the chlorocarbonylation of aryl bromides to yield acid chlorides.
  • An intermediate in the synthesis of aryl [11C]methylsulfones for PET applications.

General description

Photchlorination of butyryl chloride in liquid phase has been investigated.
