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)phenylacetamideN-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 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.
