Butyryl chloride is used as an intermediate for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients benzoyl peroxide, t-butyl perbenzoate, and benzophenone. It is also used as an acylation reagent. Further, it is used in the preparation of peroxides such as benzoyl peroxide, benzophenone and t-butyl perbenzoate. In addition to this, it is involved in the preparation of chromones and antiproliferative agents.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
