Conversion Reaction of Benzyl-Type Chlorinated Hydrocarbons into Functional Groups

Abstract

Benzyl chloride and its derivatives are important intermediates, the benzyl-type chlorinated hydrocarbons tend to have reaction with kinds of nucleophilic reagents, such as OH -, OR -, CN -, NH3, etc., give new functional groups. This review summarizes these reactions and makes discussions according to introduce different groups and compares different kinds of reactions.
