CAS 112-16-3 — Lauroyl chloride
Lauroyl chloride (CAS 112-16-3) is an acyl chloride derivative of lauric acid, widely used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and the production of surfactants, lubricants, and specialty polymers. Its high reactivity enables efficient esterification and amide formation, making it essential for industrial and laboratory applications. This reagent has a molecular formula of CH3(CH2)10COCl and a molecular weight of 218.76 g/mol. It must be stored at ambient temperatures under dry conditions, away from moisture and incompatible materials. Handling requires caution, as it carries a **Danger** signal word due to its corrosive and hazardous nature. Molekula supplies Lauroyl chloride from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
