Chemical Properties Of Lauroyl Chloride Cas 112-16-3

Cas 112-16-3/Lauryl chloride (also known as dodecyl chloride or dodecanoic acid chloride) is an acyl chloride derivative of lauric acid, with the molecular formula C₁₂H₂₃ClO and a molecular weight of 218.76. At room temperature, it is a colorless or pale yellow transparent oily liquid with a strong pungent odor. It is chemically reactive and readily reacts with nucleophilic reagents such as water, alcohols, and amines. It serves as an important acylating agent in organic synthesis and is widely used in the fields of surfactants, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and cosmetics.

Product Application Of Lauroyl Chloride Cas 112-16-3

  1. Organic Synthesis: Key acylating agent for introducing lauroyl group in synthesis of surfactants, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals.
  2. Surfactant Manufacturing: Intermediate for producing anionic/nonionic surfactants (e.g., sodium lauroyl sarcosinate).
  3. Polymer Industry: Lauroyl chloride is used to synthesize lauroyl peroxide, a common free-radical initiator for polymerization.
  4. Pharmaceuticals: Intermediate for preparing amino acid derivatives and lipid-soluble drugs.
  5. Material Modification: Surface modifier for cellulose, chitosan, and nanomaterials to improve hydrophobicity.
