N-Chlorination of anilines

can we use NCS for N-chlorination of aryl amines?

Yes and no.

There is no other possible answer to a question posed that way.

This is already the third time you ask lazy questions. I don't know why you keep doing that when it should be obvious that nobody can answer such unspecific questions except with even more unspecific answers (which are however unlikely of any help). Also keep in mind that this forum is not for asking other people to do the literature search work for which you are paid for (and they are not).

can we use NCS instead of t-butylhypochlorite for making N-haloarylamines.

An N-haloaniline? If it did chlorinate the nitrogen first wouldn't it soon be transferred onto the ring?

N-Chloroanilines and N,N-dichloroanilines are known species, but there is not much in the literature about them as stable isolated compounds (the migration of chlorine to the aromatic nucleus can be prevented by electron withdrawing groups).

However, the questions of Soma78 and Guru are still unanswerable since too unspecific.

Guru is now banned as he/she is the exact same person as soma78.

Unbelievable that you'll go through the trouble of registering two accounts but are too lazy to search google.

BTW, this is you last warning soma78. One more stunt from you and you're gone from this board.
