Uses
N-Chlorophthalimide may be employed in the synthesis of:
- α-amino acetal
- α-amino nitro compounds
- vicinal diamine
- α,β-unsaturated vicinal haloamino nitro compound
It may also be used as a chlorination reagent for the synthesis of 3-(methylthio)oxindoles.
General Description
N-Chlorophthalimide in anhydrous acetic acid serves as a useful oxidizing reagent for use in various direct titrimetric analyses.
N-Chlorophthalimide can be synthesized by reacting phthalimide,
t-butyl hypochlorite, water and
t-butyl alcohol. It participates in the synthesis of 2-amino-3-benzoyl-α-(methylthio)phenylacetamide.
