Chloramine-T is the organic compound with the formula CH3C6H4SO2NClNa. Both the anhydrous salt and its trihydrate are known. Both are white powders. Chloramine-T is used as a reagent in organic synthesis.{{cite journal|doi=10.1021/cr60311a005|title=Chloramine T and Related N-halogeno-N-metallo reagents|journal=Chemical Reviews|volume=78|pages=65–79|year=1978|last1=Campbell|first1=Malcolm M.|last2=Johnson|first2=Graham.}} It is commonly used as cyclizing agent in the synthesis of aziridine, oxadiazole, isoxazole and pyrazoles.{{Cite journal |last1=Nayak |first1=Yogeesha N. |last2=Gaonkar |first2=Santosh L. |last3=Saleh |first3=Ebraheem Abdu Musad |last4=Dawsari |first4=Abdullah Mohammed A. L. |last5=Harshitha |last6=Husain |first6=Kakul |last7=Hassan |first7=Ismail |date=2022-03-01 |title=Chloramine-T (N-chloro-p-toluenesulfonamide sodium salt), a versatile reagent in organic synthesis and analytical chemistry: An up to date review |journal=Journal of Saudi Chemical Society |language=en |volume=26 |issue=2 |pages=101416 |doi=10.1016/j.jscs.2021.101416 |issn=1319-6103|doi-access=free }} It's inexpensive, has low toxicity and acts as a oxidizing agent. In addition, it also acts as a source of nitrogen anions and electrophilic cations. It may undergo degradation on long term exposure to atmosphere such that care must be taken during its storage.
Reactions
Chloramine-T contains active (electrophilic) chlorine. Its reactivity is similar to that of sodium hypochlorite. Aqueous solutions of chloramine-T are slightly basic (pH typically 8.5). The pKa of the closely related N-chlorophenylsulfonamide C6H5SO2NClH is 9.5.
It is prepared by oxidation of toluenesulfonamide with sodium hypochlorite, with the latter being produced in situ from sodium hydroxide and chlorine (Cl2):
Uses
=Reagent in amidohydroxylation=
The Sharpless oxyamination converts an alkene to a vicinal aminoalcohol. A common source of the amido component of this reaction is chloramine-T.{{cite journal|last1=Bodkin |first1=J. A. |last2=McLeod |first2=M. D. |title=The Sharpless asymmetric aminohydroxylation |journal=J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 1 |date=2002 |volume=2002 |issue=24 |pages=2733–2746 |doi=10.1039/b111276g}} Vicinal aminoalcohols are important products in organic synthesis and recurring pharmacophores in drug discovery.
=Oxidant=
Chloramine-T is a strong oxidant. It oxidizes hydrogen sulfide to sulfur, and mustard gas (bis(2-chloroethyl) sulfide) to yield a harmless crystalline sulfimide.{{Ullmann| first1=Yasukazu|last1=Ura|first2=Gozyo|last2=Sakata|title=Chloroamines|year=2007|doi=10.1002/14356007.a06_553}}
It converts iodide to iodine monochloride (ICl). ICl rapidly undergoes electrophilic substitution predominantly with activated aromatic rings, such as those of the amino acid tyrosine. This makes it a useful reagent in combination with an iodide ion source for iodination of peptides and proteins. Chloramine-T together with iodogen (1,3,4,6-Tetrachloro-3a,6a-diphenyltetrahydroimidazo[4,5-d]imidazole-2,5(1H,3H)-dione) or lactoperoxidase is commonly used for labeling peptides and proteins with radioiodine isotopes.{{cite book | first= F.|last=Rösch | title = Radiochemistry and Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry in Life Sciences |volume=4 | publisher = Kluwer Academic Publishers | location = Dordrecht, Boston, London }}
=Disinfectant=
Chloramine-T has a long history as a hospital disinfectant. It is effective against e.g. hepatitis and HI viruses.https://www.duodecimlehti.fi/duo50224 Unlike the more common sodium hypochlorite, chloramine-T is mildly basic, almost odorless and is not a bleaching agent.{{Cite web |title=Sactiv Kloramiini 1l |url=https://www.sillasiisti.fi/sactiv-kloramiini-1l |access-date=2024-10-25 |website=www.sillasiisti.fi |language=fi}}
Safety
Chloramine-T is harmful if swallowed. It is corrosive on skin, eyes or mucous membranes. It releases toxic chlorine gas upon reaction with acids. It is water-soluble and thus can be released to the environment dissolved in water. It is a known sensitizer.https://www.carlroth.com/medias/SDB-0271-GB-EN.pdf?context=bWFzdGVyfHNlY3VyaXR5RGF0YXNoZWV0c3wzMDc2NDF8YXBwbGljYXRpb24vcGRmfGgwYi9oZjEvOTE0MzI0MzgwMDYwNi9TREJfMDI3MV9HQl9FTi5wZGZ8NzE3ODFiZjc3YjFlZTk1MWExMjUxOWU2YzJhOWEyZGY5ZDIxMzJjYTQ2NzU2MjI0MDBjMzVjZDMwMWJlODkyMQ Chloramine-T has been observed to cause occupational asthma and flu-like symptoms.https://www.ttl.fi/file-download/download/public/6517
