“…Kinetics of oxidation of ketones by different N-halo oxidants like N-bromo succinimide [1,2], 1,3-dichloro-5,5'-dimethylhydantoin [3], N-chlorosaccharin [4,5], trichloroisocyanuric acid [6,7], N-bromosaccharin [8] have received considerable attention. A thorough literature survey showed that till the date, reactions between dichloroisocyanuric acid (DCICA) and ketones were not studied.…”
