Oxidative Chlorination of Aromatic Compounds in Aqueous Media
Sushil Kumar Sharma, Prof. D.D Agarwal

Abstract
An efficient method for the synthesis of chlorinated arenes is disclosed. The method involves the use of NaClO3 as oxidant and HCl as chlorinating agent in aqueous medium under mild conditions to chlorinate the aromatic compounds in good to excellent yields (75-96%). The reagent system is efficient, organic solvent-free and easy to handle.
