Abstract
Abstract Aniline undergoes regioselective trichlorination by N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) in acetonitrile in good yield. The product 2,4,6-trichoroaniline was converted into 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene by reduction of its diazonium salt. Reaction of the methyl carbamate of aniline with NCS gave only the 2,4-dichlorophenyl carbamate.
