Q

How are acyl chlorides made?

A

Acyl chlorides are made by reacting carboxylic acids with thionyl chloride, SOCl2.

Carboxylic acid + thionyl chloride -> Acyl chloride + SO2 + HCl

Q

Why must water not be present when forming an acyl chloride?

A

Water must not be present or the newly formed acyl chloride will react with it to form a carboxylic acid.
