Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of cyanuric chloride (27.6 g.) in anhydrous ether (600 ml.) was kept at -30° C and treated with dimethylamine (13.5 g.). Following the addition the mixture was allowed to warm to 0° C and poured on to ice. The ether layer was separated, dried, and evaporated and the residue crystallised from light petroleum to give the product (26.0 g.) having a melting point of 123°-124° C.
