  • Converts alcohols to chlorides or esters in drug intermediates.

  • Useful in the preparation of peptide coupling reagents.

2. Specialty Chemicals

  • Employed in organic synthesis as a chlorinating and dehydrating agent.

  • Helps in formation of acyl chlorides and acid anhydrides.

  • Used to introduce oxalyl functional groups in specialty intermediates.

3. Plastics

  • Involved in polymer and resin synthesis.

  • Helps in modifying plastic properties via functionalized intermediates.

  • Used in plasticizer intermediates manufacturing.

4. Agrochemicals

  • Precursor in the synthesis of herbicides, pesticides, and insecticides.

  • Helps in producing chlorinated intermediates used in agrochemical formulations.

5. Cosmetic Additives

  • Used in the synthesis of UV absorbers and stabilizers.

  • Prepares intermediates for cosmetic-grade functional molecules.

6. Colorants

  • Applied in the synthesis of dyes and pigments.

  • Functions as a chlorinating agent to create colorant intermediates.

7. Veterinary Drugs

  • Acts as a key intermediate in animal healthcare formulations.

  • Used in drug intermediates requiring acyl chloride functionality.

8. Food Chemicals

  • Used indirectly in the synthesis of food-grade intermediates (not as a direct additive).

  • Helps in preparing flavor and fragrance intermediates in strict regulated conditions.

9. Intermediates

  • Widely used to synthesize acyl chlorides, esters, amides, and heterocycles.

  • Functions as a dehydrating agent for formylation and esterification reactions.
