Thionyl Chloride 99% Purity Chlorinating Agent CAS 7719-09-7 Industrial Grade Pharmaceutical Intermediate

 Product Overview
Thionyl chloride (SOCl₂) is a colorless to pale yellow fuming liquid with a pungent, suffocating odor. It is supplied at ≥99% purity and is widely used as a chlorinating agent in organic synthesis, particularly for converting carboxylic acids to acyl chlorides and alcohols to alkyl chlorides. It is also used in pharmaceutical manufacturing and as a dehydrating agent.

Synthetic Process
Thionyl chloride is produced industrially by the reaction of sulfur trioxide with sulfur dichloride or by the chlorination of sulfur dioxide. The crude product is purified by distillation to achieve ≥99% purity.

Mechanism of Action
As a chlorinating agent, thionyl chloride reacts with carboxylic acids to form acyl chlorides, releasing sulfur dioxide and hydrogen chloride as byproducts. It also converts alcohols to alkyl chlorides and sulfonic acids to sulfonyl chlorides. Its high reactivity and volatile byproducts make it a preferred reagent in organic synthesis.
