Build & compare acid halide molecular model structure for insights into chemical & biological applications. Learn about reactivity, acyl substitution, IUPAC naming, and relevance using Orbit models for hands-on visualization.

Acid halides (acyl halides) are highly reactive derivatives of carboxylic acids in which the hydroxyl group is replaced by a halogen atom, typically chlorine. They are essential in organic chemistry for studying acyl substitution reaction mechanisms, synthesis of esters, amides, and anhydrides. In biological and medicinal contexts, acid halide analogs can help illustrate enzyme-mediated acylation, drug synthesis intermediates, and chemical modifications. Orbit acid halide molecular models allow students to visualize the planar carbonyl carbon, bond angles, and the effects of halogen substitution. They are a versatile tool for chemistry & biology related majors.

Indigo Instruments has held inventory of genuine Cochranes of Oxford (Orbit) atoms & bonds for 30+ years. These parts are compatible with every molecular model set we have sold since day 1. This quality may appear expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.

Key Acid Halide Functional Group Examples for the Classroom

 
Compound Chemistry Use Case Biology / Medicine Relevance
Acetyl chloride Demonstrates nucleophilic acyl substitution and ester/amide formation. Represents reactive intermediates in drug synthesis.
Benzoyl chloride Illustrates acylation of aromatic compounds and planar carbonyl geometry. Used as a model for pharmaceutical aromatic derivatives.
Succinyl chloride Teaches bifunctional acylation reactions for dicarboxylic compounds. Analog for bifunctional drug precursors and biomolecule modifications.
Formyl chloride Shows one-carbon acylation reactions and carbonyl electrophilicity. Model for enzymatic formylation and biochemical modification pathways.
Oxalyl chloride Used for synthesis of anhydrides and polyacyl derivatives. Represents reactive intermediates in bioactive compound synthesis.
 

Acid halides shown in the image include phosgene in the middle, then from the bottom left clockwise propanoyl chloride, butanoyl chloride and adipoyl dichloride.

Bought two of these because I prefer them to the one used at the university. Easy to use and has a good flexibility.

I've had consistently great service from this company. Our students seem to really appreciate the reasonable price. In the years that we've used this product, not one has been returned due to defects.

Considering how many of these we sell to schools every year, that is high praise indeed. Thanks letting us know.
