GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF ACYL HALIDES
Acyl halide is one of a large group of organic substances containing the halocarbonyl group, have the general formula R-CO.X (where X is a halogen atom and R may be aliphatic, alicyclic, or aromatic). Acyl is a radical formed from an organic acid by removal of a hydroxyl group. the general formula is RCO, where R may be aliphatic, alicyclic, or aromatic. halide is any compounds of halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine) with another elements and groups. Acyl halides are made by replacing the -OH group in carboxylic acids by a halogen using a halogenating agents. They react readily with water, alcohols, and amines and are widely used in organic synthetic process whereby the acyl group is incorporated into a molecule by substitution called acylation reaction. In substitutive chemical nomenclature their names are formed by adding '-oyl' as a suffix to the name of the parent compound; ethanoyl chloride, CH3COCl, is an example.
