There are two standard acronyms for the compound in question. CC cyanuric chlorice as used in the 1979 Tet Lett article and TCT trichloro-s-triazine
as is more common in present day chemical literature. I have NEVER seen this substance referred to as CTC ANYWHERE. CTC usually stands for charge
transfer complex, which is what I supposed you were proposing to (somehow) employ in this reaction, though the logic was opaque to me.
If this is the acronym madness that Nicodem was referring to then I agree with him entirely.
The similarity of TCT and TCCA acronyms has caused a number of confusing mistakes over the years, and is bad enough.
"CTC" should NEVER be used to refer to trichloro-s-triazine.
