Diphenylacetyl chloride, min. 90 %, 5 g

Diphenylacetyl chloride is an acyl chloride reagent supplied at a minimum purity of 90 % for laboratory organic synthesis. Characterised by CAS number 1871-76-7, empirical formula C₁₄H₁₁ClO and a molar mass of 230,69 g/mol, it provides a diphenylacetyl moiety for acylation and related transformations. The reactive acid chloride functionality is used when introducing the diphenylacetyl group into alcohols, amines or other nucleophiles under controlled conditions. A compact 5 g pack supports small-scale method development, intermediate preparation and screening work where accurate molar dosing matters. Transport classification includes UN number 3261, reflecting the corrosive nature typical of many acid chlorides and reinforcing the need for appropriate containment and PPE. Offered in the chemicals and biochemicals portfolio from manufacturer Carl ROTH, this material suits synthetic laboratories that require a defined diarylacetyl chloride intermediate. Handle under dry, inert conditions where required, follow institutional safety procedures for corrosive organics, and plan stoichiometry using the stated molecular mass.
