Abstract Metal perchlorates are compounds of great chemical interest since they possess some unique properties, such as high electronegativity and relatively low charge density, poor complexing ability, high solubility in various organic solvents, and kinetic stability under mild conditions. Besides providing polar media when dissolved in solvents, metal perchlorates have recently found wide employment as Lewis acid promoters in various organic transformations, both in the development of new techniques for known and widely used reactions and in promotion of new kinds of reactivity. This paper presents a general overview of the more recent uses of lithium, magnesium, zinc, and nickel perchlorates, underlining the fact that such perchlorates are quite safe chemical products under mild conditions.
