Adipoyl chloride can be prepared from adipic acid. 2. Formyl fluoride is the organic compound with the formula FC(O)H. A very sensitive compound first reported in the 1934. 3. Oxalyl fluoride is a fluorinated derivative of oxalic acid. It is being investigated for use in etching as a replacement for compounds which have the liability of high global warming potential. 4. Acetyl bromide is an acyl bromide compound. As is expected, it may be prepared by reaction between phosphorus tribromide and acetic acid. 5. Acetyl chloride, also known as ethanoyl chloride or acyl chloride, is an acid chloride derived from acetic acid. It is a colorless liquid. 6. Acryloyl chloride, also known as 2-propenoyl chloride or acrylic acid chloride, is a clear, light yellow, flammable liquid with an acrid smell. 7. Anisoyl chloride (also called methoxybenzoyl chloride) is an anaromatic acyl chloride, and may be formed from anisic acid. There are three isomers, the ortho-, meta-, and para- forms. 8. Benzoyl chloride, also known as benzenecarbonyl chloride, is an organochlorine compound. is a colourless, fuming liquid with an irritating odour. 9. Bromodifluoroacetyl chloride -It has been used as a starting material for the synthesis of (biologically active) ,-difluoro--lactams and has been used in the synthesis of trifluoromethylated C-nucleosides. 10. Butyryl chloride (also known as butanoyl chloride) Butyryl chloride is liquid at room temperature, has a colorless to light yellowish appearance and has an extremely strong pungent odor. 11. Chloroacetyl chloride is a chlorinated acyl chloride. It is a bifunctional compound, making it a useful building blockr chemical. 12. Fluoroacetyl chloride is an acyl chloride. It was the product obtained by William E. Truce of Purdue University in his experiment in 1948. 13. Methacryloyl chloride is the acid chloride of methacrylic acid. It is used to manufacture polymers. 14. Oxalyl chloride or ethanedioyl dichloride - This colourless, sharp-smelling liquid, the diacid chloride of oxalic acid, is a useful reagent in organic synthesis. 15. Sebacoyl chloride is a corrosive light-yellow liquid with a pungent odor, soluble in hydrocarbons and ethers and it hydrolyzes in water rapidly. 16. erephthaloyl chloride is the acid chloride of terephthalic acid and is one of two monomers used to make Kevlar. TCL is a white crystalline solid at room temperature.
