Abstract

Some chlorinated aromatic compounds, including indole, benzofuran, carbazole, pyridine and aniline derivatives, are difficult to obtain through convenient chlorination. We herein report their efficient synthesis through chlorination with N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS). Optimization of the reaction conditions, including the temperature and the choice of solvent, was also investigated. This approach, which is characterized by a facile procedure, comparatively high yields and environmentally friendly features, provides a straightforward and inexpensive route to several chlorinated aromatic compounds.

Key words

chlorination - N-chlorosuccinimide - indoles - benzofurans - carbazoles - pyridines
