What Wikipedia says

N-Chlorosuccinimide (NCS) is the organic compound with the formula C2H4(CO)2NCl. This white solid is used for chlorinations. It is also used as a mild oxidant. NCS is related to succinimide, but with N–Cl in place of N–H. The N–Cl bond is highly reactive, and NCS functions as a source of "Cl+".
