Hydrochloric Acid → 2,4,6-Triethyl 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-tricarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Hydrogen chloride gas was bubbled through neat ethylcyanoformate (0.997 ml, 10.1 mmol) until the solution became a white solid, approximately 2 hours. The solid was partitioned between CH2Cl2 and water. The CH2Cl2 layer was collected dried (MgSo4) and concentrated to a white solid. The product was recrystallized from hot absolute ethanol to give the title compound (m. p. 169-170° C.). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ1.42 (t, 9H, 3x CH3), 4.50 (q, 6H, 3x CH2). 13C NMR (DMSO) δ14.06 (CH3), 64.02 (CH2), 161.27 (CO), 166.86 (Triazine Ar).
