- important and versatile functional group. Keywords: alkenyl chloride; chloroalkenes; chloro olefins; vinyl chlorides; Introduction Alkenyl chlorides, while less extensively investigated than their brominated analogues, constitute a synthetically valuable class of organohalides with distinct reactivity
- ], and pesticides [7] (Figure 2). Throughout this review, the term “alkenyl chloride” refers broadly to chloroalkenes beyond vinyl chloride (CH2=CHCl), the monomer used in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) production. Before detailing the synthesis and applications of alkenyl chlorides, we wish to acknowledge
- (Figure 3I). It should be noted that the review by Petrone and Lautens also covers some hydrochlorination chemistry. A concise three-page overview of alkenyl chloride synthesis appeared in 1995 in a book chapter “Comprehensive Organic Functional Group Transformations” by C. J. Urch [42]. Lastly, Cao and
