Uses of propionyl chloride The main uses of propionyl chloride include the following aspects :
Organic synthesis : propionyl chloride is often used as a propionylation reagent in organic synthesis. It is an intermediate in the preparation of various propionic acid derivatives, such as phenylacetone .
Pharmaceutical industry : propionyl chloride is used in the pharmaceutical industry in the production of antiepileptic drugs, cholinol, antiadrenergic drugs, etc. For example, the antiepileptic drugs belladonetoin, cholineol and methoxyamine hydrochloride, etc .
Pesticide production : Propionyl chloride is often used as a raw material of the herbicide paspalum in pesticide production .
Other applications : propionyl chloride is also used in the synthesis of medicine, dyes, pesticides and other important intermediates .
Propionyl chloride synthesis method mainly includes the following two:
Acyl chlorination : 2-chloropropionyl chloride is synthesized from 2-chloropropionic acid under the action of phosgene, sulfoxide chloride, phosphorus trichloride and other acyl chlorination reagents. Because phosgene is a highly toxic gas and the industry entry threshold is high, sulfoxide chloride and phosphacyl trichloride chloride methods will cause environmental pollution and equipment corrosion .
Propionyl chloride chloride process : this method has the advantages of simple reaction and stable product quality, and has attracted much attention .
Storage method : propionyl chloride should be sealed, heat and moisture proof, stored and transported in accordance with the provisions of toxic chemicals .
