Abstract

Conversion of alcohols into the corresponding chlorides is one of the most important and commonly used transformations in organic synthesis and the development of such a procedure is still desirable in academia as well as in industrial research. A number of reagents have been employed to carry out this transformation. Some of the methods developed for this purpose utilize reagents such as thionyl chloride, 1 PCl 5 , 2 N,N-diphenylchlorophenylmethyleniminiumchloride, ...
