TCCA to NaDCIC
« on: July 04, 2005, 07:14:40 AM »
Hi everybody,

Is there any simple way in the lab to convert Tri Chloro isoCyanuric Acid (TCCA) to its lesser derivative Sodium DiChloro IsoCyanuric acid (NaDCIC) ?
This will involve the removal of 1 atom of chlorine and the addition of sodium in its place. It's baffled me.
Thanks in advance,
jmarjorie

You might be able to do it with Na0, but it's probably be messy.

Possibly also with something like NaHMDS.

Maybe also try reducing with n-Bu3SnH to form the dichloro compound and then just deprotonate.

urm, basically what Mr. Movies said, take the dichloro compound, deprotonate with NaOH.

Btw, how fair is to call thi-chloro compund an acid - after all, it isn't a Bronsted acid anymore.
