Abstract

Chlorination of commercially important aromatic compounds using sodium chloride as chlorine source and sodium periodate as oxidant in acidic medium catalyzed by sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) led to the chloro-substituted aromatics in good yields and purity. Addition of sodium lauryl sulfate led to increased chlorination rate, better yield, excellent purity, and better quality of end product. The advantages of the present method are greater yield, excellent purity, and ...
