Things to do

Mechanism of SOCl2, PCl3, PCl5.
Mechanism of DMF
Balance equation with cyanuric chloride
Check - DIBAH reduces to 1° alcohol? Or aldehyde? Reusch says former, Rosenmund reaction says latter.
Draw diagram for FC acylation. Reaction in Friedel-Crafts reaction is not very nice.

Add a systematic nomenclature. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.127.15.3 (talk) 03:10, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Radical R Group?

Does the R group in RCOCl really have to be an "organic radical"? Only one reaction shown on the page (the Appel Reaction) had a radical at all. From what I understand, the beauty of Acid Chlorides is that you can put virtually any R group onto it, allowing addition to any nucleophilic functional group.

An explanation would be appreciated, but if one is not available in a few days, I'll go ahead and remove that part of the opening paragraph. Uhjoebilly (talk) 00:33, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
