GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS
Chloramine refers to a group of compounds with formulas R2NCl or RNCl2 (R is an organic group), including monochloramine (NH2Cl), dichloramine (NHCl2) and trichloramine (NCl3). Chloramine also refers to a combination of chlorine and ammonia, is used as a disinfect in water supplies to prevent  waterborne diseases. Examples of organic chloramines are:

Chloramine-B and Chloramine-T are antiseptic agents derived from combining chloramine and benzenesulfonamide or p-toluenesulfonamide repectively. Chloramine  is one of the most widely used chemical disinfectants in drinking water system. Sulfonamide molecular structure is similar to p-Aminobenzoic acid (PABA) which is needed in bacteria organisms as a substrate of the enzyme dihydropteroate synthetase for the synthesis of tetrahydrofolic acid (THF). Sulfonamides are capable of interfering with the metabolic processes in bacteria that require PABA. They act as antimicrobial agents by inhibiting bacterial growth and activity. Chloramine B and Chloramine B are used as an oxidizing agent, an antiseptic, a germicide as well as a chlorinating agent in organic synthesis. Its ions resulting from dissolving in water involve in interfering with micro-organisms' cell process by oxidations of proteins or enzyms.
