Our Factory Supply Stearoyl Chloride has a CAS number of 112 - 76 - 5. It is a long - chain acyl chloride with a molecular formula of C₁₈H₃₅ClO and a molecular weight of approximately 302.92 g/mol. The product usually appears as a white to slightly yellowish waxy solid at room temperature. It has a melting point in the range of 67 - 72°C and a boiling point around 210 - 220°C at 15 mmHg.
Stearoyl chloride is produced through the reaction of stearic acid with thionyl chloride or phosphorus pentachloride. In our factory, we use advanced production techniques to ensure high purity. The purity of our stearoyl chloride is typically above 98%, which guarantees its excellent performance in various applications. The low price of our product is achieved through efficient production processes and large - scale manufacturing, without sacrificing quality.
Stearoyl chloride has a wide range of applications in different industries. In the field of organic synthesis, it is an important intermediate. It can be used to synthesize various esters and amides. For example, it can react with alcohols to form stearic acid esters, which are commonly used as lubricants, plasticizers, and surfactants.
In the cosmetic industry, stearoyl chloride - derived products are used in the formulation of creams, lotions, and lipsticks. The esters and amides formed from stearoyl chloride can improve the texture and stability of cosmetic products, providing a smooth and long - lasting effect.
In the pharmaceutical industry, it can be used in the synthesis of some drugs. Stearoyl - based compounds can enhance the solubility and bioavailability of certain drugs, improving their therapeutic effects.
When handling stearoyl chloride, it is necessary to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Since stearoyl chloride is a reactive and corrosive substance, it should be stored in a cool, dry place away from sources of moisture and heat.
In organic synthesis reactions, stearoyl chloride is usually added drop - wise to a reaction mixture containing the appropriate nucleophile (such as an alcohol or an amine) under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon). The reaction temperature and time need to be carefully controlled according to the specific reaction conditions. For example, when reacting with an alcohol to form an ester, the reaction is often carried out at a temperature between 60 - 80°C for several hours.
After the reaction, appropriate purification steps, such as distillation or recrystallization, are required to obtain the pure product. It is important to follow good laboratory practices and chemical safety guidelines during the entire process.
Case 1: Lubricant Production
A lubricant manufacturing company used our stearoyl chloride to synthesize stearic acid esters. They added stearoyl chloride drop - wise to a solution of a specific alcohol in the presence of a catalyst at 70°C under a nitrogen atmosphere. After a 4 - hour reaction, they obtained a high - quality stearic acid ester. This ester was then blended with other additives to produce a lubricant with excellent anti - wear and anti - oxidation properties. The lubricant was used in industrial machinery, reducing friction and extending the service life of the equipment.
Case 2: Cosmetic Formulation
A cosmetic company used stearoyl chloride - derived amides in their lipstick formulation. The amides improved the adhesion and stability of the lipstick on the lips, providing a long - lasting color. Consumers reported that the lipstick had a smooth application and did not dry out the lips. The company's sales of this lipstick increased significantly after the addition of the stearoyl - based ingredient.
