ACETYL CHLORIDE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Acetyl chloride is a colorless, fuming liquid with a pungent odor, represented by the chemical formula CH3COCl. It is used primarily as an acetylating agent in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of esters, amides, and other acetylated derivatives. Acetyl chloride reacts vigorously with water, alcohols, and amines, releasing hydrogen chloride and acetic acid. Due to its high reactivity and corrosiveness, proper handling and storage are essential to prevent accidents and exposure. Personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and respirators, should be used to ensure safety. Acetyl chloride should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from moisture and incompatible substances. Always refer to the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for detailed safety and handling instructions.
