General description

Thionyl chloride is an inorganic acid chloride mainly used to prepare carboxylic acid chlorides from carboxylic acids.

Application

Thionyl chloride may be used in the following processes:
  • To facilitate the synthesis of indenones from 3-hydroxyindanones via dehydroxylation.
  • Surface modification of amorphous carbon nanotubes (α-CNTs) in stearic acid-dichloromethane solution.
  • To functionalize silica gel for thioacetalization of aldehydes.
  • Conversion of tert-butyl esters to acid chlorides.
  • Conversion of aliphatic and aromatic sulfoxides to sulfides in the presence of triphenylphosphine.
  • As an activator to generate ketenes in-situ for preparing 2-azetidinones.

Complex Hydrides: A New Category of Solid-state Lithium Fast-ion Conductors

Research and development of solid-state lithium fast-ion conductors is crucial because they can be potentially used as solid electrolytes in all-solid-state batteries, which may solve the safety and energy-density related issues of conventional lithium-ion batteries that use liquid (farmable organic) electrolytes.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
