| Chemical Properties | Palmitoyl Chloride is an organic compound derived from palmitic acid by replacing one of the hydroxyl groups with a chlorine atom. It is moisture-sensitive and reacts readily with nucleophiles. |
| Applications | Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of antibiotics such as chloramphenicol palmitate and tasteless chloramphenicol. It is also employed in the synthesis of surfactants, lubricants, and other chemical products. |
| Storage Conditions | Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area below 30°C. Keep away from heat, sparks, and incompatible materials. The packaging must be sealed to prevent moisture exposure. |
| Safety Precautions | Palmitoyl Chloride is corrosive and may cause severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Handle with caution and wear appropriate protective equipment. In case of exposure, seek medical attention immediately. Store in accordance with local regulations for hazardous chemicals. |
