Application

Thionyl chloride was used to produce graphene-based hybrid transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs).
It may be used in the following processes:
  • Synthesis of indenones from 3-hydroxyindanones via dehydroxylation.
  • Modification of amorphous carbon nanotubes (a-CNTs) in stearic acid-dichloro methane solution.
  • To functionalize silica gel for thioacetalization of aldehydes.
It may be used in the synthesis of:
  • substituted stilbene derivatives
  • tert-butyl ((S)-1-((R)-oxiran-2-yl)-2-phenylethyl)carbamate
  • optically active chloroalkanes
