Thionyl Chloride

Product Description

Thionyl Chloride (Code: 06230) is a colorless to pale yellow fuming liquid with a sharp, pungent odor. It is a powerful chlorinating and dehydrating agent, widely used in organic synthesis and industrial chemistry. Known for its ability to convert alcohols and carboxylic acids into alkyl and acyl chlorides, Thionyl Chloride is a crucial reagent in pharmaceutical, dye, and agrochemical manufacturing.

In laboratories, it is an essential reagent for acylation, chlorination, and esterification reactions, while in industrial applications, it serves as a key intermediate in the production of fine chemicals, polymers, and specialty compounds.
