Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of cyanuric chloride (184 mg, 1.00 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in CH3CN/H2O (1/1, 33 ml) was cooled to 0° C. Methylamine (40 w % in H2O) (0.252 ml, 3.25 mmol, 1.00 equiv) was added. The reaction mixture was adjusted to a pH of about 9-10 using 1 N NaOH. After being stirred at 0° for 10 min, the reaction was complete. The resulting suspension was used in the next step without workup or purification.
