NONANOYL CHLORIDE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear slightly yellow liquid

Uses

Nonanoyl chloride is used for the acylation of amine groups of chitosan to simultaneously improve its material properties and adsorption capacity. It was also used in the synthesis of N-nonanoyl piperonylamide, caged vanilloid, N-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-N-(2-nitrobenzyl)-nonanoylamide or N-(2-Nitrobenzyl)-N-vanillyl-nonanoylamide, n-benzylnonanamide.

Purification Methods

Reflux it with acetyl chloride (~ 3 volumes) for 1hour, then distil off AcCl followed by the nonanoyl chloride at ~12mm. It is moisture sensitive and should be stored in sealed ampoules. [Beilstein 2 IV 1023.]
