chloramine T
Sign in to saveAlso known as Chloramine-t, Tolamine, Tochlorine, Tampules, Sodium tosylchloramide, Sodium p-toluenesulfonylchloramide, Sodium p-toluenesulfonchloramide, Sodium chloramine T
Chloramine-T is the organic compound with the formula CH3C6H4SO2NClNa. Both the anhydrous salt and its trihydrate are known. Both are white powders. Chloramine-T is used as a reagent in organic synthesis. It is commonly used as cyclizing agent in the synthesis of aziridine, oxadiazole, isoxazole and pyrazoles. It's inexpensive, has low toxicity and acts as a oxidizing agent. In addition, it also acts as a source of nitrogen anions and electrophilic cations. It may undergo degradation on long term exposure to atmosphere such that care must be taken during its storage.
