  Acyl chloride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Acyl chlorides are a subset of acyl halides and undergo many of the chemical reactions mentioned under Acyl halide.
Since a chloride ion is a good leaving group, this is a very useful compound synthetically, it can be used to prepare any carboxylic acid derivative: an acid anhydride, an ester or an amide by reacting acid chlorides with: a salt of a carboxylic acid, an alcohol, or an amine respectively.
Acyl chlorides are often prepared by reacting a carboxylic acid with thionyl chloride.

 Acyl halide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An acyl halide (also known as an acid halide or haloformate) is an organic compound containing a -COX functional group, which consists of a carbonyl group singly bonded to a halogen atom such as chlorine ( Cl ;).
Acyl halides are commonly made by halogenating a carboxylic acid, hence the name acid halide.
Acyl halides are artificial, rather reactive compounds often synthesized to be used as intermediates in the synthesis of other organic compounds.

 biology - Hydrogen chloride
The hydrogen chloride molecule HCl is a simple diatomic molecule consisting of a hydrogen atom H and a chlorine atom Cl connected with a covalent single bond.
Joseph Priestley prepared pure hydrogen chloride in 1772, and in 1818 Humphry Davy proved it was chemically composed of hydrogen and chlorine.
Historical uses of hydrogen chloride in the 20th century include hydrochlorinations of alkynes in producing the chlorinated monomers chloroprene and vinyl chloride, which are subsequently polymerized to make polychloroprene (Neoprene) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), respectively.

 Carboxylic Acids
The Acyl Halide Family is a family of organic compounds with the functional group being the -COX.
Acyl Halides cannot be prepared from one of the members of the other acyl families because they represent the most reactive of the families.
Acyl halides will react with water as a nucleophile to form the Carboxylic acid and a strong Hydrogen Halide whish will react with water itself to form a corrosive strong acid which can be very irritating to the eyes and skin.

 Method for preparation of semipermeable composite membrane - Patent 4606943
A substantial proportion of the acyl halide functional groups are hydrolyzed by the water present in the amine reagent as solvent, generating carboxylic acid groups or carboxylate salts.
In addition, a polyacyl halide, such as trimesoyl chloride, or isophthaloyl chloride may be added to the reaction mixture of amine and anhydride to vary the properties of the resulting reverse osmosis membrane.
The procedure of Example 1 was followed, however, to the triacyl chloride was added sufficient diacyl chloride in the form of isophathoyl chloride to achieve a ratio of (a) 7.5 to 1 and (b) 4.2 to 1.

Cellulose in natural or regenerated form may be modified by reacting it with an activated hydrophobic acyl group, such as an acid chloride or acid anhydride, in the presence of a hindered base, such as tripentylamine, to attach the acyl groups to the hydroxyls on the cellulose, to increase the hydrophobicity of the cellulose.

 Carboxyl Derivative Reactivity
The exceptional reactivity of acyl halides, on the other hand, facilitates their reduction under mild conditions, by using a poisoned palladium catalyst similar to that used for the partial reduction of alkynes to alkenes.
Since acyl chlorides and anhydrides are expensive and time consuming to prepare, acids and esters are the most commonly used reactants for this transformation.
Since acyl chlorides are more reactive than esters, isolation of the ketone intermediate formed in their reactions with organometallic reagents becomes an attractive possibility.

By appropriate choice of the optical configuration of the substituted acyl halide, or the acyl amine or acid anhydride, in view of the single inversion during the rearrangement step, it is possible to produce a desired optically active.alpha.-acylalkanoic acid.

 Nuffield Advanced Chemistry - Why is an acyl chloride, rather than a carboxylic acid, preferred in the condensation ...
One is that the acyl chloride itself is a far more hazardous and volatile material to employ than the carboxylic acid, and, as you rightly point out, its use produces toxic HCl vapour.
As you should know from the Nuffield course (Topic 15), acyl chlorides are far more reactive electrophiles than carboxylic acids, and their reactions can always be carried out under less vigorous conditions, often at room temperature.
Providing that the acyl chloride is handled carefully and that the ensuing reaction is carried out in a fume cupboard, it is the preferred choice of reagent for the reasons given.

For example, acyl transfer from acyl chloride to amines produces amides in high yield in aprotic solvents.
In water, however, amines are extensively solvated and are less reactive toward acyl chloride.
Compared to acyl halides, methyl esters are markedly resistant to hydrolysis in water, but are reactive enough toward amines and other nulceophiles in aprotic solvents, and reside in the micellar interior as expected.

 Chem 130A Summer 2000 In-class Problem Set #3 Key   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Nucleophilic acyl substitution of an amide is usually difficult because of the small amount of charge on the carbonyl carbon and a very poor leaving group.
An ester has a greater charge on the carbonyl carbon and a better leaving group, so nucleophilic acyl substitution at an ester is faster than at an amide.
An acyl chloride generally undergoes rapid nucleophilic acyl substitution because the charge on the carbonyl carbon is large and there is a reasonable leaving group.
