10.22376/ijpbs.2019.10.1.p1-12 Volume 6 Issue 2 2015 (April - June) Lithium perchlorate is a Lewis acid catalyst which activates a large number of organic reactions providing high yields with enhanced reaction rates. Moreover, it makes some of the reactions possible to proceed under solvent-free conditions which is an important aspect for the development of green chemistry. This paper canvasses the chemical literature on lithium perchlorate as a catalyst for organic synthesis of various molecular scaffolds.
