Abstract

A proficient/effective method for the synthesis of chlorinated arenes is revealed. The system involves the use of N-Chlorosuccinimide (NCS) as chlorinating and oxidizing agent in aqueous medium under mild conditions to chlorinate the aromatic compounds in virtuous to excellent yields (75-96 percent). The reagent system is efficient, organic solvent-free and easy to handle. N-Chlorosuccinimide is an advantageous reagent for aromatic halogenation, while at the same time, circumventing electrophilic addition of chlorine to a pi bond.
