Dichloroacetyl chloride is the organic compound with the formula CHCl₂COCl. It is the acyl chloride of dichloroacetic acid.[1] It is a colourless liquid and is used in acylation reactions.[2][3]

Preparation

Unlike typical acid chlorides, dichloroacetyl chloride is not prepared from the acid. Industrial routes include oxidation of 1,1,2-trichloroethane, hydrolysis of pentachloroethane, and the carboxylation of chloroform:[4]

CHCl₂CH₂Cl + O₂ → CHCl₂COCl + H₂O

CHCl₂CCl₃ + H₂O → CHCl₂COCl + 2 HCl

CHCl₃ + CO₂ → CHCl₂COCl + 1/2 O₂

Uses

Hydrolysis gives dichloroacetic acid. It is one of the precursors to antibiotics, including chloramphenicol. Another reported use was in the synthesis of WIN 18,446.

gollark: Gregtech has a weirdly inconsistent attitude to realism.

gollark: In the sort of "modern" tech-mod packs I use energy is not really a huge problem unless you're pretty earlygame or need to do ridiculously large-scale stuff.

gollark: For that sort of thing I would probably just hook up automation and/or many blast furnaces.

gollark: Especially GT:NH.

gollark: GregTech, from what I've heard, seems very hard.
