Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 15 g (0.25 mole) of ethylenediamine in 125 ml of cold acetone is added dropwise, at 0° to 5° C., to 92.2 g (0.5 mole) of cyanuric chloride, dissolved in 500 ml of acetone. The mixture is subsequently stirred for 30 minutes and a solution of 20 g (0.5 mole) of NaOH in 125 ml of water is then slowly added at 0° to 5° C. After stirring the mixture at the same temperature for four hours, it is diluted with 500 ml of ice-water and the solid is filtered off. The desired compound is obtained in the form of a white powder.
