Application

  • Synthesis, Characterization, and Evaluation of Thiazolidine Derivatives of Cysteine for Suppressing Eumelanin Production.: The study discusses the synthesis and evaluation of thiazolidine derivatives of cysteine, where acetyl chloride is used as a reagent, underscoring its importance in pharmaceutical intermediate development. (Amino et al., 2016).
  • New URJC-1 Material with Remarkable Stability and Acid-Base Catalytic Properties.: This research introduces the new URJC-1 material, noting its stability and catalytic properties, with acetyl chloride being pivotal in the synthesis process, illustrating its role in material science and catalysis. (Leo et al., 2016).

General description

Acetyl chloride undergoes reaction with decalin and aluminum trichloride to afford a tricyclic enol ether. It promotes the cyclopropanation of alkene with dibromomethane or diiodomethane in the presence of Zn dust and copper chloride in ether. Friedel-Crafts reaction of acetyl chloride with benzene in the presence of MCl3 (M = Al or Fe) in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride affords MCl3 adducts of the acetyl chloride, the acetylium ion [CH3CO]+[MCl4]- and the MCl3 adduct of acetophenone.
