👉 The term "chloroformize" is a chemical reaction that converts a hydrocarbon compound (such as a benzene or a furan) into its corresponding halogenated product, which can then be further processed to form various compounds. The process involves reacting the hydrocarbon with an inorganic halogen such as chlorine or bromine, and often other organic molecules. This is commonly used in the synthesis of a variety of chemicals, including plastics, dyes, and pharmaceuticals.
