How does N-Chlorosuccinimide work as chlorine source?
May 9,2026
N-Chlorosuccinimide (NCS) is a chlorinating and oxidizing agent
that is used as source for chlorine in radical reactions and various electrophilic additions. Mechanistic experiments implicate a reaction pathway that proceeds via a
single electron oxidation of NCS that amplifies the electrophilicity of
the chlorine atom.

N-Chlorosuccinimide (NCS) is a chlorinating and oxidizing reagent. It is also used as a mild oxidant. NCS is related to succinimide, but with NCl in place of NH. The N-Cl bond is highly reactive, and NCS functions as a source of "Cl+".
