Application

Cyanuric chloride can be used as a reagent:   
  • In the preparation of acyl azides from carboxylic acids and sodium azide.       
  • For the conversion of carboxylic acids, N-Boc, N-Cbz, and N-Fmoc amino acids into corresponding alcohols.      
  • For the conversion of alcohols into the corresponding carbonyl compounds by alternative Swern oxidation reaction.


It can also be employed as a catalyst in the Beckmann rearrangement of ketoximes into amides in the presence of ZnCl2.
Reagent for the conversion of alcohols to chlorides and for the immobilization of microorganisms and enzymes.

The first general organocatalytic Beckmann rearrangement of ketoximes into amides has been realized by the catalytic use of cyanuric chloride. Furthermore, acids such as HCl and ZnCl2 are effective as cocatalysts with cyanuric chloride. For example, azacyclotridecan-2-one, which is synthetically
