Chlorinating reagent for hetero arens

Palau'chlor is a powerful chlorinating reagent that is at the same time reactive and safe. It is a white powder, soluble in CH2Cl2, and CHCl3, partially soluble in acetonitrile, DMSO, but insoluble in alcohols[1]. The reagent can be stored under air and without any precautions. This reagent finds application in the direct chlorination of various electron-rich (hetero)arenes, methyl ketones, enones, and conjugated systems. It is particularly effective in chlorinating heteroarenes like imidazoles, pyrroles, indoles, pyrazoles, and indazoles[2]. Palau'chlor's high regiochemical selectivity and excellent tolerance for different functional groups make it a valuable tool for chlorinating a wide range of natural compounds containing arene.
