The sulfur adjacent to the nitrogen can stabilize a nitrogen anion (R<sub>2</sub>N<sup>–</sup>), so that the N-chloro sulfonamide moiety can be deprotonated at nitrogen even with only sodium hydroxide.


Chloramine T is also used to oxidize iodide anion to [[iodonium]] cation and thus be incorporated, e.g. to proteins. Tyrosine aromatic ring activated by hydroxil group undergoes ortho electrophylic aromatic substitution.⏎

==Use as a biocide==
Chloramine-T is used for disinfection and as an [[algicide]], [[bactericide]], [[germicide]], for [[parasite]] control, and for drinking water disinfection. The molecular structure of toluenesulfonylamide is similar to [[para-aminobenzoic acid]], an intermediate in bacterial metabolism, which is disrupted by this sulfonamide (in the same way as by a [[sulfa drug]]). Therefore, chloramine-T is capable of inhibiting with bacterial growth with two mechanisms, with the phenylsulfonamide moiety and the electrophilic chlorine.
