Pivaloyl Chloride (CAS 594-20-7, C5H9ClO) is a vital acylating agent synthesized via the reaction of pivalic acid with thionyl chloride. It serves as a key intermediate for introducing bulky tert-butyl groups in organic synthesis.
Strictly store in cool, dry, ventilated areas away from moisture. Use full PPE due to severe corrosivity; hydrolysis releases toxic HCl gas. Avoid inhalation and skin contact during handling.
