Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2,4-bis(diallylamino)-6-chloro-1,3,5-triazine (14.2 grams; 0.046 mole), 4,4'-(hexamethylenediimino)bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine) (9.2 grams; 0.023 mole), powdered sodium hydroxide (1.84 grams; 0.046 mole), and xylene (50 mls) is heated at reflux for 36 hours using a water separator to remove byproduct water. The reaction mixture is then filtered hot and the filtrate is evaporated to obtain a light yellow oil which solidifies on standing. Recrystallization of the solid from hexane gives white needles which on recovery and drying weigh 9.3 grams, mp 119°-120° C.
