Cyanuric chloride → 2,4-Dichloro-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine (1.0 g, 5.4 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (17 mL) was added MeMgCl (1.8 mL) drop wise and the reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 0.5 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with saturated NH4Cl solution and extracted with EtOAc (2×50 mL). The organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 2,4-dichloro-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine (0.800 g, 90%) as a solid. The crude material was taken to the next step without further purification.
