Lauroyl chloride is a colorless to pale yellow liquid, classified as a fatty acid chloride derived from lauric acid. It is used extensively in the synthesis of surfactants, pharmaceutical intermediates, and cosmetic ingredients. It reacts readily with alcohols, amines, and hydroxyl-containing compounds to form esters and amides. Lauroyl chloride is highly moisture-sensitive and corrosive, requiring careful handling under controlled environments.
