Chloramine-T, N-chloro tosylamide sodium salt

Chloramine-T is a source of electrophilic chlorine. In water, chloramine-T is decomposed to yield hypochlorite, which acts as a disinfectant, and the sulfonamide moiety, which inhibits bacterial grow due to the similarity with para-aminobenzoic acid (a bacterial metabolite). Chloramine-T can ...

1,3-Dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene borane (diMe-Imd-BH3)

NHC-trihydroboranes are white solids that are stable to air, water, and even chromatography. However, 1,3-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene borane is a surprisingly good hydride donor that is comparable to anionic reagents such as NaCNBH3. The reagent can be used for reductive amination procedures and ...
