Chlorinated Solvents as Surrogates in Organic Synthesis

Abstract Among various types of solvents used in organic synthesis for organic transformations, halogenated solvents have been widely used in industries and laboratories. In many reports, it has been noticed that these halogenated solvents have been involved themselves and are utilized as surrogates for the organic reactions, and thus, the examples have been summarized in the present article, covering the commonly used solvents bearing chlorine, like chloroform, dichloromethane, and dichloroethane, which have been discussed in detail.
