Appearance:Benzoyl chloride appears as a colorless fuming liquid with a pungent odor. Flash point 162°F. Lachrymator, irritating to skin and eyes. Corrosive to metals and tissue. Density 10.2 lb / gal. Used in medicine and in the manufacture of other chemicals.
Density:1.2070 g/cm3 @ Temp: 25 °C
Melting Point:-1.0 °C
Boiling Point:197.2 °C @ Press: 760 Torr
Flash Point:68ºC
Refractive Index:1.552-1.554

Vapor Density:4.88 (vs air)
Toxicity:LD50 orally in Rabbit: 2460 mg/kg LD50 dermal Rabbit 790 mg/kg
Flammability characteristics:Lower flammable limit: 1.1% by volume; Upper flammable limit: 7.1% by volume
Explosive limit:vol% in air: 2.57
Odor:Penetrating odor
Henrys Law Constant:Henry's Law constant = 1.32X10-4 atm-cu m/mol at 25 °C (est)
Experimental Properties:Decomposes in water|Dipole moment: 3.28 debyes|Hydroxyl radical reaction rate constant = 1.78X10-12 cu cm/mole-sec at 25 °C (est)
Air and Water Reactions:Fumes in air. Decomposes exothermically and rapidly in water to form insoluble benzoic acid and hydrochloric acid (HCl) [Merck 11th ed. 1989]. This is not supported by Argonne experiments which have not observed any gas generation upon mixing with water. Experimental work at Argonne National Laboratory has determined that there is no HCl formation; the substance was quite unreactive in water. This does not prevent HCl formation by a catalytic mechanism, but under normal conditions benzoyl chloride is quite unreactive. (Argonne Report ANL/DIS-00-1, October 2000).
Reactive Group:Acyl Halides, Sulfonyl Halides, and Chloroformates
Reactivity Alerts:Water-Reactive
Reactivity Profile:BENZOYL CHLORIDE reacts violently with protic solvents such as alcohols, with amines and amides (for example dimethylformamide [Bretherick 1979 p. 6] ) and with inorganic bases. Causes the violent decomposition of dimethyl sulfoxide [Chem. Eng. News 35(9): 87 1957]. May react vigorously or explosively if mixed with diisopropyl ether or other ethers in the presence of trace amounts of metal salts [J. Haz. Mat., 1981, 4, 291]. Friedel-Crafts acylation of naphthalene using benzoyl chloride, catalyzed by AlCl3, must be conducted above the melting point of the mixture, or the reaction may be violent [Clar, E. et al., Tetrahedron, 1974, 30, 3296].
Autoignition Temperature:197.2 °C
Heat of Combustion:-10,030 Btu/lb = -5570 Cal/g = -233.2X10+5 J/kg
Flammable Limits:Lower flammable limit: 1.2% by volume; Upper flammable limit: 4.9% by volume
Physical Dangers:The vapour is heavier than air.
