TRICHLOROETHYLENE IN ORGANIC-SYNTHESIS

Literature data on trichloroethylene chemistry have been summarized. A ddition reactions of inorganic and organic reagents to trichloroethyle ne have been considered, cycloaddition reactions with trichloroethylen e participation have been classified. Trichloroethylene reactions with different nucleophiles resulting in substitution of 1 to 3 chlorine a toms by nucleophilic residues have been systematized. Reactions of eli mination and oxidation of trichloroethylene as well as aspect of pract ical application of its derivatives have been considered. The analysis carried out shows wide synthetic opportunities for polyfunctional org anic substances of different classes to be prepared based on trichloro ethylene.
