stearoyl chloride
Stearoyl chloride is a fatty acid chloride, derived from stearic acid. It is a colorless, oily liquid with a pungent odor. It is synthesized by reacting stearic acid with thionyl chloride or phosphorus pentachloride. Stearoyl chloride is a versatile reagent used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of amides, esters, and ketones. It is also used as a reagent in the production of pharmaceuticals, polymers, and other fine chemicals. Its importance lies in its reactivity and its ability to introduce a long-chain alkyl group into molecules. Stearoyl chloride is studied extensively due to its wide range of applications in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food.'
