Abstract
Halogenation is the reaction by which one or more halogens (i.e. fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine) are introduced into an organic compound. Halogenation using chlorine gas is industrially the most important halogenation reaction. This chapter discusses the important uses of chlorination as well as the hazards of working with chlorine gas, before looking at the green issues around chlorine production.
