Introduction: Oxalyl chloride is a synthetic intermediate of medicine, pesticide, paint, etc., and is also a high-quality acylating agent in chemical industries such as polyamide, chemical luminescent agent, and liquid crystal; it is used as a raw material for synthesizing antibiotics in medicine, and in paint. As the raw material of methylacrylphthalein isocyanate, it is used in the pesticide industry to synthesize super-efficient sulfonylurea herbicide bensulfuron, plant growth regulator, etc., and has a wide range of uses.
