Anisoyl chloride
Encyclopedia
Anisoyl chloride is an acyl halide
, specifically an aromatic acyl chloride, and may be formed from anisic acid
by replacing a hydroxyl
group with a chloride
group. There are three isomers, the ortho-, meta-, and para- forms.

Hydroxyl
A hydroxyl is a chemical group containing an oxygen atom covalently bonded with a hydrogen atom. In inorganic chemistry, the hydroxyl group is known as the hydroxide ion, and scientists and reference works generally use these different terms though they refer to the same chemical structure in...
group with a chloride
Chloride
The chloride ion is formed when the element chlorine, a halogen, picks up one electron to form an anion Cl−. The salts of hydrochloric acid HCl contain chloride ions and can also be called chlorides. The chloride ion, and its salts such as sodium chloride, are very soluble in water...
