PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Thionyl chloride is an inorganic compound with the formula SOCl2. It is a reactive chemical reagent used in chlorination reactions. It is a colorless, distillable liquid at room temperature and pressure that decomposes above 140 °C. Thionyl chloride is reactive chemical reagent used mainly as chlorinating agent in organic synthesis, as intermediates in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and dyestuff. Thionyl chloride is used as co-reactant in sulphonations and chlorosulphonations. It is used as chlorinating agent in the preparation of acid chlorides from carboxylic acids, aliphatic alkyl chlorides, aromatic sulphonyl chlorides including the important organic reactant acetyl chloride. Acid chlorides are used to prepare many carboxylic acid derivative, anhydrides, esters or amides. Also used in the preparation of alkyl chlorides. Thionyl chloride is used in the preparation of fatty acid chlorides, which in turn are reacted to form a variety of surface-active agents. Thionyl chloride is used as a catalyst for the production of target molecules such as pesticides, dyes, photographic chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Thionyl chloride is a component of lithium-thionyl chloride batteries, where it acts as the positive electrode(cathode) with lithium as the negative electrode (anode).
Main demand driver for thionyl chloride is the growth of pesticide sector as well as vinyl sulphone and acid chloride. Viscose dye pigments are frequently used by the dye industries and thionyl chloride is the precursor for the manufacture of viscose dye pigments. The Indian demand for thionyl chloride is around 54,000 tonnes per annum where as the global demand is around 0.5 million tonnes per annum. Thionyl chloride has a good scope owing to its application and cost competitiveness in the domestic market.
