Thidftyl Chrdride from Mobay. • High purity. • Selective chlorination. • No solid by-product. These are the singular advan tages you get with Mobay's thionyl chloride. And it's versatile: it functions not only as a chlorinat ing agent, but as an esterifying or dehydrating agent as well, depend ing on the reaction conditions. For example, acid chlorides or acid anhydrides can be synthesized by reacting thionyl chloride with car boxylic acids; reactions with alcohols form chlorosulfonates or alkylchlorides. Several aromatic carboxylic esters can be synthesized
by the reaction of thionyl chloride with carboxylic acids in the presence of phenols. Generally speaking, reactions at atmospheric pressure are possible and are characterized by good yields and the absence of solid by-products. Mobay's 99.6% pure thionyl chloride is produced at our Baytown, Texas plant and is available nationwide in both bulk and drum quantities.
