Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

9.1 g (0.0505 mol) of 30% strength sodium methylate were added over the course of 15 minutes to a stirred mixture of 10 g (0.0505 mol) of 2-amino-4-fluoro-6-trifluoromethoxy-1,3,5-triazine and 100 ml of methanol at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for one hour and then concentrated under reduced pressure, taken up in methylene chloride and extracted with water. Drying and concentration yielded 10.5 g (99% of theory) of the title compound of melting point 96°-101° C.
