Application Areas

Organic synthesis: used as an acylation reagent for the synthesis of aldehydes, esters, amides, and other compounds.
Pesticides and insecticides: intermediates used in the synthesis of carbamate insecticides such as methomyl and isoproterenol.
Chemical research: As a dehydrogenation reagent or intermediate, study the mechanism of acylation reactions.

Storage conditions

Environmental requirements: It should be stored in a dry and inert gas environment (such as argon) in a sealed manner to prevent contact with moisture. It is recommended to store in refrigeration (2-8 ° C) and avoid high temperatures or direct sunlight.
Isolation measures: Separate from alkalis, oxidants, alcohols, etc. and strictly prohibit mixing storage.

Safety precautions

Personal protection: Wear corrosion-resistant gloves, goggles, and gas masks during operation to avoid inhaling vapors or coming into contact with the skin.
Leakage treatment: Cover the leaked material with inert adsorbent material (such as sand) and prohibit direct flushing with water
Health risk: Highly corrosive to skin, eyes, and respiratory equipment. Immediately rinse with plenty of water and seek medical attention upon contact

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

  • Q:

    Are fumaryl chloride and fumaroyl dichloride the same chemical substance?
