Product Overview
Benzoyl chloride LR is a high-purity laboratory reagent designed for precision in organic synthesis applications. This colorless to pale yellow liquid exhibits a characteristic pungent odor and serves as a fundamental building block in acylation reactions. With a minimum assay of 99%, this LR-grade chemical ensures reliable performance in chlorination and esterification processes. The reagent’s low moisture content (<0.5%) guarantees stability during storage and handling, while its controlled acidity (≤0.1% HCl) minimizes side reactions. Packaged in amber glass bottles to prevent light-induced degradation, this benzoyl chloride maintains its integrity throughout transportation and storage. The product's boiling point of 197°C and density of 1.21 g/cm³ at 20°C provide consistent physical properties for reproducible experimental results. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control testing to verify purity and absence of heavy metal contaminants, meeting international laboratory standards. The chemical's reactivity with water necessitates careful handling under fume hoods with proper protective equipment.
FAQs
1. What precautions should be taken when handling benzoyl chloride LR?
Always use benzoyl chloride in a well-ventilated fume hood while wearing appropriate PPE including nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Avoid contact with water or moisture as it reacts violently to produce hydrogen chloride gas.
2. How should benzoyl chloride LR be stored for maximum shelf life?
Store the tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the temperature between 15-25°C and ensure the storage area has proper ventilation to prevent vapor accumulation.
3. What is the typical moisture content in this LR grade benzoyl chloride?
The moisture content is maintained below 0.5% in this laboratory reagent grade, which helps preserve its reactivity and prevents premature hydrolysis during storage.
4. Can this benzoyl chloride be used for large-scale synthesis?
While primarily intended for laboratory use, the high purity of this LR grade makes it suitable for pilot-scale synthesis when proper safety protocols and engineering controls are implemented.
5. What analytical methods verify the purity of this benzoyl chloride?
The purity is confirmed through gas chromatography and titration methods, with each batch accompanied by a certificate of analysis detailing the assay results and impurity profile.
