1. Product Overview & Specifications

Decanoyl chloride (CAS 112-13-0) is a saturated fatty acid chloride with the chemical formula C₁₀H₁₉ClO. It is widely used as a reactive intermediate in organic synthesis.

2. Key Applications & Use Cases

Decanoyl chloride serves as a critical reagent in:

• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and ester prodrugs.
• Agrochemicals: Manufacturing herbicides and fungicides via acylations.
• Polymer Industry: Synthesis of polyamide resins and specialty polymers.
• Surfactants: Precursor for cationic surfactants in detergents.

3. Usage Guidelines & Safety

Handling Precautions:

• Use in well-ventilated areas with PPE (gloves, goggles, lab coat)
• Store under inert gas (N₂ or Ar) at 2-8°C
• Avoid contact with water/moisture due to violent hydrolysis

4. Industry Case Studies

Case 1: Antibiotic Intermediate Synthesis
A European pharma company utilized decanoyl chloride to synthesize ciprofloxacin side chains, achieving 92% yield via Schotten-Baumann reaction.

Case 2: Herbicide Production
An agrochemical manufacturer developed a novel chloroacetamide herbicide using decanoyl chloride as key acylating agent, reducing reaction time by 40%.
