4-Acetoxybenzoyl chloride（Cat No.:L027391）is an aromatic acyl chloride featuring an acetoxy group (–OCOCH₃) at the para position and a reactive benzoyl chloride moiety. This dual-functional compound is commonly used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly for producing esters, amides, and polymers. The acetoxy group imparts electron-withdrawing effects, influencing the reactivity of the acyl chloride group in nucleophilic substitution reactions. It plays a role in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development, as well as in the synthesis of functionalized aromatic compounds. Proper handling is essential due to its corrosive and lachrymatory nature.
