General description

p-Toluoyl chloride causes the benzoylation of toluene using triflic acid funtionalized mesoporous Zr-TMS catalysts. It causes1,9-diacylation of a dipyrromethane using the hindered Grignard reagent 2,6-dimethylphenylmagnesium bromide.

Application

p-Toluoyl chloride was used to prepare antigen, Tolyl-amido-human serum albumin.
