Pivaloyl chloride (C5H9ClO, CAS 594-67-2) is a key acylating agent produced via the reaction of pivalic acid with thionyl chloride or phosphorus pentachloride. It serves as a critical reagent in organic synthesis for introducing bulky tert-butyl groups.
Strictly store under anhydrous conditions at low temperatures. Requires corrosion-resistant PPE due to severe hydrolysis releasing HCl gas; avoid inhalation and skin contact.
