Abstract:The diverse nature of Chloramine-T, the sodium salt of N-chloro-p-toluenesulfonamide, abbreviated as CAT, acts as a source of halonium cation and nitrogen anion, and acts as both base and nucleophile. It reacts with broad range of functional groups and brings divergent molecular transformations to synthetic chemistry. CAT has also gained much recognition as a mild oxidant for several organic moieties and has been used as a versatile reagent for the estimation of various functional groups in analytical chemistr… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
