1. Basic Product Profile
- Full IUPAC Name: 1-chloropyrrolidine-2,5-dione
- Aliases: NCS, N-Chlorosuccinimide
- CAS Number: 128-09-6
- EINECS: 204-878-7
- Molecular Formula: C4H4ClNO2
- Molecular Weight: 133.53
- Chemical Classification: Selective chlorinating reagent, mild oxidant, organic synthesis intermediate
- Core Advantages
Stable solid chlorine source with mild reaction activity. Realizes selective electrophilic chlorination of aromatic rings, allylic/benzylic chlorination, alcohol oxidation and sulfur compound chlorination. Low corrosiveness, easy post-treatment, no harsh by-products. Widely applied in pharmaceutical API synthesis, conjugated optoelectronic material preparation and organic chemistry laboratory research.
2. Physical & Chemical Properties
2.1 Physical Index
- Appearance: White crystalline powder
- Odor: Slight chlorine pungent odor
- Solubility: Slightly soluble in water; soluble in THF, DMF, DCM, hot chloroform; insoluble in cold aliphatic alkanes
- Melting Point: 148–152 °C (decomposition)
- Hygroscopy: Slightly hygroscopic, slowly decomposes in humid air releasing chlorine gas
- Crystal Feature: Fine uniform crystals with good dispersion in anhydrous aprotic solvents
2.2 Chemical Properties
- Active N-Cl bond: Under heating or light induction, releases Cl free radical for selective aliphatic chlorination; under polar conditions provides Cl? for aromatic electrophilic substitution
- Selective reactivity: Preferentially chlorinate allylic, benzylic C-H without over-substitution under radical conditions
- Acid & Alkali Stability: Stable under dry neutral environment; hydrolyzes in water to succinimide + hypochlorous acid; violent reaction with strong alkali
- Thermal Stability: Gradually decomposes above 140 °C, emits chlorine vapor
- Photostability: Highly sensitive to strong UV light; long-term illumination causes yellowing and activity loss
- Compatibility: Compatible with anhydrous aprotic solvents; incompatible with reducing agents, ammonia, amines, strong alkaline substances
3. Main Application Fields
