Cyanuric chloride → 2-[cyanomethyl-(4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)amino]acetonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 9.5 g. (0.1 mole) of iminodiacetonitrile in 100 ml. dioxane was added to a stirred solution of 9.2 g. (0.05 mole) of cyanuric chloride in 100 ml. dioxane. The suspension was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour. An additional 100 ml. dioxane was added and mixture heated to 50°C. for 1 hour and filtered. The filtrate was diluted with 500 ml. ice/water and the solid filtered and dried to give 9.6 g. (80% yield), m.p. 154°-158°C.
