Dichloramine is a reactive inorganic compound. It has the formula NHCl2. The yellow gas is unstable and reacts with many materials.[1] It is formed by a reaction between ammonia and chlorine or sodium hypochlorite. It is a byproduct formed during the synthesis of chloramine and nitrogen trichloride.

Synthesis

Dichloramine can be prepared by a reaction between chloramine and chlorine or sodium hypochlorite:[1]

\mathrm{NH_2Cl + Cl_2 \longrightarrow NHCl_2 + HCl}
