p-Toluoyl chloride Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

CLEAR COLOURLESS TO SLIGHTLY BROWNISH LIQUID

Uses

p-Toluoyl chloride was used to prepare antigen, Tolyl-amido-human serum albumin. It is used as a reagent to synthesize (+)-Yashabushitriol, derivatives of Desloratadine.

Uses

Intermediates of Liquid Crystals

General Description

p-Toluoyl chloride causes the benzoylation of toluene using triflic acid funtionalized mesoporous Zr-TMS catalysts. It causes1,9-diacylation of a dipyrromethane using the hindered Grignard reagent 2,6-dimethylphenylmagnesium bromide.
