Product Description
4-Acetylbenzenesulfonyl chloride, with the chemical formula C7H7SO3Cl, is an aromatic compound containing both an acetyl group (-COCH3) and a sulfonyl chloride group (-SO2Cl) attached to a benzene ring. It is used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, dyes, and agrochemicals. This compound plays a critical role in introducing the sulfonyl and acetyl functional groups into other organic molecules, enhancing their chemical reactivity. It is produced through a reaction of acetylation and sulfonation. Industries such as pharmaceuticals and chemical manufacturing benefit from its stability and ability to form highly reactive intermediates for targeted molecular synthesis.
