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

• co-workers published a mini-review in 2013, written in Chinese, summarizing advances in the synthesis of vinyl chlorides [43]. As illustrated by the summary of existing reviews (Figure 3), the synthesis of alkenyl chlorides encompasses a wide range of mechanistically distinct strategies. An overview

In 2019, Jiao and colleagues reported that 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) could be used as a chlorination reagent for the production of (hetero)aryl chlorides and vinyl chlorides [21]. The reactions were carried out in an undivided cell containing a mixture of DCE in

• carboxylation of aryl halides and pseudohalides using CO2 is an important reaction to yield benzoic acid derivatives. In 2009, Martin reported the Pd-catalyzed carboxylation of aryl bromides using ZnEt2 as the reductant [31]. In 2012, we first reported the Ni-catalyzed carboxylation of aryl chlorides and vinyl

• chlorides using Mn powder as the suitable reductant [32]. These reactions can be performed under mild conditions, i.e., an atmospheric pressure of CO2 at room temperature. We also reported the Co-catalyzed carboxylation of alkenyl and aryl trifluoromethanesulfonates (triflates) as substrates [33]. As a

And as there is an abundance of chlorine-containing natural products, the synthesis of chlorinated functional groups, such as allyl- and vinyl chlorides, can represent challenging obstacles that practitioners of natural product synthesis must surmount [9][10][11][12]. More commonly, allyl
