Benzyl chloride from Toluene/trichloroisocyanuric

Hi,

Preparation of Benzyl Chloride (44% yield?) by refluxing Toluene and trichloroisocyanuric acid, with Benzoyl Peroxide as catalyst looks interesting...

other catalyst known ?

Yes! There are other catalysts!

moo:
It's not a catalyst, it's a radical initiator.

Nicodem:
There are many radical initiators that can substitute it, practicaly any compound with the -CO-OO-CO- group will do, probably AIBN or other aza compounds would work as well. And quite probably a mercury lamp would suffice too. But as far as I know, peroxybenzoic acid anhydride (aka "benzoyl peroxide") is the only one that you can easily get OTC, so I can see no point in your question. Or are you perhaps interested in other radical initiators that might increase the yields?

acx01b:
ok ty very much
Does peroxyacetic acid anhydride work ?
can it be formed from H2S2O8 NaOH and acetic acid ?
