Abstract

Employing dichloromethane (DCM) as building block for organic synthesis is beneficial because of its low cost and good solubility to organic reactants. The recent advances in the organic syntheses using DCM as the methylene donor are highlighted.

Keywords: Dichloromethane, methylene donor, C-C bond, C-heteroatom bond.
