Palmitoyl Chloride is the acyl chloride derivative of palmitic acid, used as a reactive acylating agent in the synthesis of agrochemical intermediates, surface-active compounds, and lipid-conjugated plant growth regulators. It reacts readily with alcohols and amines to form esters and amides, enabling the introduction of long-chain fatty acyl groups into biologically active molecules. AB Enterprises supplies Palmitoyl Chloride in technical purity for use by specialty chemical manufacturers and agrochemical research laboratories. The compound is moisture-sensitive and requires strict handling under inert atmosphere conditions with appropriate personal protective equipment.
