===Production===
NOCl can be prepared by the direct combination of ] and ]. Alternatively, ] and HCl also affords the compound:
Nitrosyl chloride can be produced in many ways.
:HCl + NOHSO<sub>4</sub> &rarr; NOCl + ]


* Combining ] and HCl affords the compound. This method is used industrially.<ref name=Ullmann/>
It also arises from the combination of hydrochloric and nitric acids according to the following reaction:<ref>{{cite journal|title = Nitrosyl Chloride|author= L. J. Beckham, W. A. Fessler, M. A.

==Reactions== ==Reactions==
NOCl behaves as an electrophile and an oxidant in most of its reactions. With ] acceptors it gives ] salts, and synthesis of ] is typically performed in liquid NOCl:<ref name="Nitros">{{cite book|title=Nitrosation|first=D.&nbsp;L.&nbsp;H.|last=Williams|publisher=]|location=Cambridge, UK|year=1988|isbn=0-521-26796-X|url=https://archive.org/details/nitrosation0000will|url-access=registration|page=11}}</ref>
*NOCl reacts with ] acceptors to give the nitrosyl cation, <sup>+</sup>. This species is available as ].

*NOCl reacts with water to release HCl.

*Heating NOCl above 100°C gives back Cl<sub>2</sub> and NO.
In a related reaction, sulfuric acid gives ], the mixed ] of nitrous and sulfuric acid:
*In ], NOCl is often employed. It adds to ]s to afford α-chloro ]s.<ref>{{OrgSynth | author = Ohno, M,; Naruse, N.; Terasawa, I. | title =

===Applications in organic synthesis===
Aside from its role in the production of caprolactam, NOCl finds some other uses in ]. It adds to ]s to afford α-chloro ]s.<ref>{{cite journal | last1= Ohno |first1=M. |last2=Naruse |first2=N. |last3=Terasawa |first3=I. | title =7-Cyanoheptanal |journal=Org.

]s ]; and then NOCl attacks the nucleophilic end of the alkene to give a vicinal keto- or aldo-oxime.{{sfn|Williams|1988|p=11}}

]s react with NOCl to give an α-chloronitritoalkyl derivatives. In the case of propylene oxide, the addition proceeds with high regiochemistry:<ref>{{cite journal|title=Olefin Oxides. IX.

==Industrial applications==

==Historical importance==
Before the advent of modern spectroscopic methods for chemical analysis, informative chemical degradation and structure elucidation required the characterization of the individual
components of various extracts. Notably, the aforementioned introduction of nitrosyl chloride by Tilden in 1875, as a reagent for producing crystalline derivatives of terpenes, e.g. α-pinene from oil of turpentine allowed investigators to readily distinguish one terpene from another.:<ref>{{cite journal|title=The development of strategies for terpenoid structure determination|last1= Hanson|first1=J.S. |journal= Natural Product Reports|year=2001|volume=18|issue= 6|pages=607–617 |doi=10.1039/b103772m}}</ref>
