Cyanuric chloride, 98%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

Reagent for detection of glycine in presence of other amino acids.Cyanuric chloride is a reagent used for the conversion of alcohols and carboxylic acids to alkyl chlorides and acid chlorides respectively. It acts as an intermediate to prepare dyestuffs, optical brighteners, tanning agents, UV-absorbing agent, softening agents and pharmaceuticals. It is also used as a precursor to dyes and crosslinking agents due to the presence of reactive chlorine atoms. It is used as a dehydrating agent as well as reacting with dimethylformamide to give Gold’s reagent, which is a versatile source of aminoalkylations and a precursor to heterocycles. Further, it is considered as an alternative to oxalyl chloride in the Swern oxidation. In addition to this, it is involved in the synthesis of adenosine receptor ligand.
