Reagent for chlorination and oxidation reactions

Trichloroisocyanuric acid is a versatile and powerful reagent for chlorination and oxidation reactions. It is more reactive than other N-chloro compounds and can often be used in place of chlorine. TCCA is a stable, safe, white granular solid, very soluble in acetonitrile, acetone, acetic acid, and ethyl acetate less soluble in benzene, chloroform, methylene chloride, and water[1]. Trichloroisocyanuric acid finds its uses as a chlorinating reagent for aromatics, amines, and amides, carbonyl compounds[2]. Also, it can be an oxidation reagent for amines to nitriles and alcohols to corresponding ketones, and aldehydes. Generally, the reactions proceed in mild conditions and do not require special precautions. The good solubility of TCCA and the fact that cyanuric acid formed as a byproduct is easily removed by filtration makes it one is the best reagents for chlorination.

Synonyms: TCCA, TCICA; 1,3,5-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6 (1H,3H,5H)-trione; trichloro-s-triazinetrione; isocyanuric chloride
