The use of recyclable reagents in organic synthesis has received considerable attention due to stringent environmental rules. 14 We have investigated the possibility of using a stable, nontoxic, and efficient chlorine releasing reagent namely, N,N′-dichloro bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl )urea (CC-2) 2. 15 CC-2 has been incorporated as a reactive ingredient in a formulation developed in our laboratory to decontaminate bis-(2-chloroethyl)sulfide (sulfur mustard), a cytotoxic, ...
