FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Are acetyl chloride and ethanoyl chloride the same substance?
A: Yes. Acetyl chloride and ethanoyl chloride are different naming conventions for the same acid chloride and correspond to the same CAS‑registered substance. -
Q:
Is acetyl chloride intended for industrial synthesis rather than only for laboratory use?
A: Acetyl chloride is typically used as an industrial chemical intermediate in controlled manufacturing processes where acyl chloride reactivity is required.
