Promising methods are reviewed for obtaining N-, O- and S-derivatives of arenes and N-hetarenes useful from synthetic and applied standpoint (both substituted and unsubstituted) via direct heteroatom chloroalkylation, those contain either mono-, di- or trichloroalkyl group in the alpha position with respect to the heteroatom. The cloroalkylation reactions are systematized according to a particular reaction mechanism (free radical, carbene, nucleophilic or electrophilic one).
