2,3,4,5,6-Pentafluorobenzoyl chloride (CAS 307-09-1; C7F5OCl) is a highly reactive acylating agent produced via chlorination of perfluorobenzoic acid. Its distinct electron-withdrawing fluorine groups enhance electrophilicity.
Strictly store in sealed containers under inert atmosphere at low temperatures. Requires PPE due to severe corrosivity and moisture sensitivity releasing toxic HF gas.
