Butyryl chloride is a compound, with a liquid appearance at room temperature. It has a light
yellow to colorless appearance. It is denoted by the chemical formula C4H7ClO. It has a distinct
odor akin to ammonia. It dissolves easily in all organic solutions.
This chemical decomposes violently by heating. But when exposed to water or air, it decomposes
instantly to form hydrochloric gas. It is known by C-4 Acyl halide, butanoyl chloride, and nbutyryl chloride. This compound belongs to the acyl group which uses the acylation process to
convert the chemicals into compounds viz. by adding RCO to the chemical structure. But this
compound has a violent nature and should be used with caution when mixed with amines,
alcohols, and dimethyl sulfoxide.
But butyryl chloride is a volatile chemical with hazardous side-effects. Overexposure to the
chemical can lead to wheezing, coughing, vomiting, nausea, shortness of breath, and headache.
Inhaling can result in pulmonary edema, spasms, chemical pneumonitis, and edema and
inflammation of bronchii and larynx.
The chemical is lethal and erodes tissues, especially the skin, eyes, upper respiratory tract, and
mucous membranes. Spilled butyryl chloride can be nullified by treating the surface with
calcium hydroxide or sodium carbonate.

Butyryl chloride is prepared using thionyl chloride and n-butyric acid. Thionyl chloride is placed
in a distilling flask with a water-cooled side arm. Then this solution is heated in water, and to it
is added the n-butyric acid solution. This mixture is heated again and distilled to a secondary
flask. The crude acid solution is purified again by distillation but retains a boiling temperature of
101°.
