Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 10.8 g of sodium methylate in 50 ml of methanol are added 28.9 g of 2-amino-4-(3-chloropropyl)-6-trichloromethyl-1,3,5-triazine, and the mixture is stirred at 60° C. for 80 minutes. The formed suspension is filtered under suction, diluted with 250 ml of water, and extracted 3 times with 200 ml of ethylene chloride each time. The organic phases are dried, filtered, and concentrated by evaporation. The oil which remains is purified through a silica gel column, the eluant used being methylene chloride/ether (3:1). The eluant is evaporated off to leave 2.1 g of the title product, which is recrystallised from ether/chloroform, m.p. 158°-159° C.
