Synthesis and crystal structure of 2-methoxy-4,6-bis(4-nitrophenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine

Abstract

The novel compound, 2-methoxy-4,6- bis (4-nitrophenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine has been synthesized starting from 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine and characterized by 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, IR, mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The single crystal of the title compound was obtained and subjected to X-ray diffraction analysis. The single crystal data illustrates that it belongs to the monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a = 13.818(3) Å, b = 7.8964(16) Å, c = 30.718(6) Å, β = 96.52(3) o , V = 3330.0(12) Å 3 , Z = 8, D c = 1.537 g/cm 3 , C 16 H 11 N 5 O 7 , Mr = 385.30, µ ( MoKα ) = 0.124 mm −1 , F(000) = 1584, the final R = 0.0489 and wR = 0.1821 for 2491 observed reflections with I>2 σ (I).
