Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Cyanuric chloride (11.0 g, 59.6 mmol) was dissolved in ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (100 ml), cooled to -5° C. and gradually added dropwise with 50% aqueous dimethylamine solution (10.8 ml, 120 mmol). This reaction mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 2 hours and then stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained was added with dichloromethane and water, and then was shaken for mixing. The organic layer was separated, washed with water and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed to obtain 11.0 g (yield: 95.4%) of 2,4-dichloro-6-dimethylamino-1,3,5-triazine as colorless crystals having melting point of 122.5° C.-123° C.
