Identify the functional groups present in each compound by analyzing their molecular formulas and structures.
Recall that an acyl chloride contains the functional group \( -COCl \), where a carbonyl carbon is bonded to a chlorine atom.
Examine each compound: look for the presence of the \( -COCl \) group, distinguishing it from esters (\( -COO- \)), amides (\( -CONH_2 \)), and carboxylic acids (\( -COOH \)).
Match the compound that contains the \( -COCl \) group to confirm it is the acyl chloride.
Understand that acyl chlorides are reactive derivatives of carboxylic acids where the hydroxyl group is replaced by chlorine, which is key to identifying them.
