Cyanuric chloride → 2-Chloro-4,6-bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidylamino)-1,3,5-triazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

62.4 g of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-amino-piperidine in 200 ml of acetone and, at the same time, 42.4 g of sodium carbonate dissolved in 100 ml of water are added to a finely dispersed suspension of cyanuric chloride, prepared by adding 36.9 g of the latter in 200 ml of boiling acetone to 400 ml of ice water. The temperature is kept at 0°-5° C. by means of external cooling. After the addition is complete, the reaction mixture is allowed slowly to warm to room temperature and is stirred at this temperature for 3 hours. Filtering and recrystallisation of the product from ethyl acetate/hexane gives 46.3 g of a white crystalline product, melting point 270° C.
