A chemical compound produced by removing a chlorine group from an acid chloride, resulting in a carboxylic acid derivative.
From 'acid chloride' with '-ide' suffix. This older chemical term was used when systematizing organic chemistry, though modern nomenclature has largely replaced it with more precise terminology.
Old chemistry terms like 'acichloride' are archaeological artifacts—they show how chemists in the 1800s named compounds based on what they thought was happening, before understanding actual molecular structures.
