Carboxylic Acid Chloride Reactions

Woops - this is not the reaction I wanted - take me back to the main graphical reactions menu.

Note that products are shown after neutralization, and neutralization of products is NOT shown here for simplicity. Exception: acid-base reactions.

Anhydrides react in essentially the same way but yield one mole of the carboxylic acid instead of HCl as product. In addition, sulfonic, sulfuric, phosphoric, and other acid chlorides and anhydrides undergo analogous reactions to form esters, amides, etc.
