Sodium Hydroxide → 2-Amino-4-isopropyl-6-methoxy-s-triazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Cool the isobutyramidine hydrochloride solution in an ice bath. Charge 8 gm. (0.07 mole) dimethyl (N-cyanoimido)carbonate to the solution, followed by 5.8 gm. (0.073 mole) 50% NaOH, added dropwise. Stir while letting the mixture warm to room temperature for one hour. Remove the methanol by vacuum stripping, and slurry the resulting solids in75 ml. water. Cool and filter. Upon drying, 7.2 gm. (61.2%) 2-amino-4-isopropyl-6-methoxy-s-triazine is obtained, mp 116°-117° C.
