1. Acyl halide

   In organic chemistry, an acyl halide (also known as an acid halide) is a chemical compound derived from an oxoacid by replacing a hydroxyl group (−OH) with a halide group (−X, where X is a halogen).If the acid is a carboxylic acid (−C(=O)OH), the compound contains a −C(=O)X functional group, which consists of a carbonyl group (C=O) singly bonded to a halogen atom. The general formula for such an acyl halide can be written RCOX, where R may be, for example, an alkyl group, CO is the carbonyl group, and X represents the halide, such as chloride. Acyl chlorides are the most commonly encountered acyl halides, but acetyl iodide is the one produced (transiently) on the largest scale. Billions of kilograms are generated annually in the production of acetic acid.

1. acyl halide

   An acyl halide, also known as an acid halide, is a type of organic compound derived from carboxylic acids by replacing a hydroxyl group with a halide group. They are typically represented by the general formula RCOX where R is any alkyl or aryl group and X represents a halide such as chlorine, bromine or iodine. Acyl halides are well known for their reactivity and are commonly used in organic chemistry for acylation reactions.

Billions of kilograms are generated annually in the production of acetic acid. The hydroxyl group of a sulfonic acid may also be replaced by a halogen to produce the corresponding sulfonyl halide. In practical terms this is almost always chloride to give the sulfonyl chloride.
