A study on the kinetics of the activation of PhICl 2 using catalytic chloride or pyridine in electrophilic chlorination of arenes has been carried out. The results indicate that both catalysts induce the release of Cl 2 from PhICl 2 and that the Cl 2 is the active reagent for chlorination in these reactions.
