Acyl chlorides

• Have a functional group COCl
• How are acyl chlorides named

  Finding the longest carbon chain then adding oly chloride at the end

  The carbon bonded yo the functional group will always be the first carbon

  Acyl group is always at the end of the group
• Acyl chlorides can react with water, ammonia, alcohols, primary amines

  In each reaction the chlorine is substituted with an oxygen or nitrogen
• When acyl chlorides react with water it forms carboxylic acids
• When u react acyl chlorides with ammonia you form a amide
• When u react acyl chlorides with alcohol it forms esters
• When acyl chlorides reactvwith primary amines you form N-substituted amides
