Abstract

Abstract Some chlorinated aromatic compounds, including indole, benzofuran, carbazole, pyridine and aniline derivatives, are difficult to obtain through convenient chlorination. We herein report their efficient synthesis through chlorination with N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS). Optimization of the reaction conditions, including the temperature and the choice of solvent, was also investigated. This approach, which is characterized by a facile procedure, ...
