Acetyl Chloride CAS 75-36-5

High-Purity Acetyl Chloride CAS 75-36-5 from Aure Chemical: Stable Supply & Compliance

Acetyl chloride is a volatile, colorless liquid characterized by its strong pungent odor and high reactivity toward nucleophiles and moisture. As one of the simplest acyl chlorides, it excels in transferring the acetyl moiety to a wide range of substrates, supporting diverse synthetic pathways in fine chemical production. Its fuming nature in air requires careful handling under anhydrous conditions to prevent unwanted hydrolysis.

Industries rely on acetyl chloride for streamlined manufacturing of high-value compounds where precise acetylation is required. Aure Chemical maintains strict quality standards to deliver material suitable for sensitive applications in regulated sectors. Customers benefit from documented traceability and support for custom specifications when needed.
