INTRODUCTION
Pivaloyl chloride is a colorless to light yellow liquid with a pungent mustard-like odor. It hydrolyses in the presence of water. It is a reactive intermediate used in the production of agricultural chemicals and pharmaceuticals and in peroxyesters manufacturing.
Manufacturing
It is made by reacting pivalic acid with phosphorus pentachloride.

N-Acetyl-L-aspartic acid, abbreviated as NAA, is second most abundant molecule in nervous systems after amino acid glutamate. It is synthesized in brain from aspartic acid and acetyl co-enzyme A. It also acts as nutrient.
1,3-Dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, popular as DMI solvent, is a high boiling aprotic polar molecule. Apart from being a common solvent in derivative GC, it finds applications in diverse industrial verticals.
Iron, Electrolytic, occurs as an amorphous, lusterless, gray-black powder. It is elemental iron obtained by electrode deposition. It is stable in dry air.
Hot melt polyamide adhesives are 100% non-volatile, thermoplastic adhesive resins. These are heat-resistance hot melt adhesive, suitable for bonding materials hard to bond together.
Boron citrate, usually called “boron”, is a micronutrient with diverse and vitally important roles in metabolism that render it necessary for plant, animal, and human health, and, possibly, as recent research suggests, for the evolution of life on Earth.
Ethone, chemically 1-(p-methoxyphenyl)-1-penten-3-one, is a flavor and fragrance ingredient. Available in white to yellow crystalline powder form, it bears sweet and anisolic taste.
Mercuric ammonium chloride, also called white precipitate, is a heavy white odourless amorphous compound used in external treatment of skin diseases and to destroy lice.
Stannic chloride pentahydrate is a tin source compatible with chlorides. Biologically, it induces a slight inhibition in the catalytic activity of the enzyme horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (HLADH).
Calcium butyrate is an off-white coloured calcium salt and is highly soluble in water. It is stable under normal pressure and temperature. It is used in food supplements and animal feeds. It is also used as a coloring and flavoring agent.
