Abstract

A process is taught for recovering a white reaction product of a cyanuric halide with an amine reactant (white being indicative of the product's high purity), in high yield. In the absence of a solvent for either reactant, the first step comprises reacting the cyanuric halide, as a finely divided solid, with a liquid amine which is to provide a saturated heterocyclic amine group, such as a polysubstituted piperazinone, piperazine, or piperidine as the substituent for each of the three halogen atoms of the cyanuric halide used. This solventless process carried out under essentially anhydrous conditions, with a large molar excess of the amine reactant chosen, not only shortens the long time required to make the desired tri-substitution in a conventional solvent process, but also obviates using a pressurized reactor. Since (i) the reaction temperature is relatively low, (ii) there is no solvent, and (iii) the amine reactants are relatively high-boiling, and the reaction occurs in the liquid phase, there is no build-up of pressure. Fortuitously, the appropriate amount of alkanol and concentrated aqueous alkali provides a partition coefficient such that salt formed by neutralization of …
