Addition of chlorine to the cyanogen bond. Chlorothio(dichloroformimido)cyanamide

Abstract
The reaction of thionyl chloride and salts of dicyanamide, with dimethylformamide as a catalyst, leads to the novel product chlorothio(dichloroformimido) cyanamide(I). Evidence for the structure is presented and the unexpected course of the reaction is discussed. Reactions of this stable, but extremely reactive compound with water, acids, alcohols, ethylene oxide, and amines are described.
