Cyanuric Chloride Derivatives. VII. Transesterification Reactions of Alkoxy-s-triazines. Polyammelide Ethers

Abstract

Transesterification has been investigated as a preparative method for monomeric and polymeric alkoxy- and alkoxyamino-s-triazines. Both classes undergo transesterification reactions with primary or secondary alcohols in the presence of catalytic amounts of sodium alkoxides. This affords a method of preparation for those derivatives which cannot be prepared directly from the corresponding chloro-s-triazines. Linear polyammelide esters have been prepared by transesterification of 2-amino-4,6-dialkoxy-s-triazines with glycols. The effects of structural modifications and conditions of reaction are discussed. © 1951, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
