18.4 Chemical Properties
1. Acylation reaction
2. Acylation of aromatic compound [Friedel Craft’s reaction]
3. Catalytic hydrogenation (Rosenmund’s reaction)
Mechanism
4. Reaction with KCN
5. Reaction with $AgN{O_3}$
The aliphatic acid chlorides are readily decomposed by water therefore aqueous solution of acid chloride gives white p.p.t. with $AgN{O_3}$.
6. Reaction of acyl chloride with diazomethane in presence of $A{g_2}O$ and water. (Arndt – Eistert synthesis)
This reaction convert acyl chloride to carboxylic acid with one carbon atom more.
