o-Toluoyl chloride Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear pale yellow to yellow to faintly pink liquid

Uses

O-Toluoyl Chloride is used in the synthesis if quinolinone compounds as SARS CoV 3CLpro inhibitors. Also used in the synthesis of benzooxaboroles as orally active anti-inflammatory agents.

General Description

Flash vacuum pyrolysis of o-toluoyl chloride at 780°C and 0.5 mmHg yields benzocyclobutenone.
