Industrial Applications
Benzoyl Chloride is primarily used as a chemical intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. It is also widely employed in the synthesis of benzoyl peroxide, which is used in acne treatments, polymer manufacturing, and as an initiator in free-radical reactions. In organic chemistry, benzoyl chloride serves as a versatile reagent for introducing the benzoyl functional group into molecules.
Physical Properties
