Reaction Steps

A 1 L jacketed reaction flask equipped with a gas inlet, a mechanical stirrer, two liquid inlets and a condenser is purged with argon and charged with 37.3 g (0.0200 mol) of cyanuric chloride and 300 mL of acetone. The stirred mixture is cooled below −15° C. and 30 mL of deionized water are added. A 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (88 g) are added over a 66-minute period via a peristaltic pump. Six minutes after the sodium hydroxide addition is started, a resorcinol solution (11.0 g, 0.100 mol in 50 mL of water) addition is begun also via a peristaltic pump. The resorcinol solution is then added over a 60-minute period concurrent with the sodium hydroxide solution. A slight exotherm occurs causing the temperature to rise to −12° C. The mixture is then stirred for an additional four hours at between −15° C. and −20° C. A 200 mL poriton of water is added and the white solids formed are collected by vacuum filtration followed by washing with three 50 mL portions of water. The solids are dried at 60° C. under reduced pressure to afford 36.5 g of the title compound as a white solid.
