ACETYL CHLORIDE is a colorless, corrosive, volatile fuming liquid with a pungent odor. Acetyl chloride is derived form of acetic acid an acyl chloride. Acetyl chloride belongs to the class of organic compounds called acyl halides.
Acetyl chloride appears as a colorless, fuming liquid with a pungent odor. Density 9.2 lb / gal. Flash point 40°F. Vapor, which is heavier than air, irritates the eyes and mucous membranes. Corrosive to metals and tissue .
ACETYL CHLORIDE is highly flammable and highly reactive with water producing HCl and heat.
ACETYL CHLORIDE reacts violently with water, steam, methanol or ethanol to form hydrogen chloride and acetic acid.
MAJOR APPLICATIONS Used as acetylating agent in chemical synthesis.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS Causes severe burn to every area of contact. May be fatal if swallowed or inhaled.
Caution: Vapours cause severe irritation to eyes and respiratory track.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion: If swallowed do not induces vomiting. Give large quantities of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention
immediately. Refer the MSDS for more details.
