Reaction of Cyanuric Chloride with alcohols. I

Abstract

As the factors influecing on the process of reaction (1) of cyanuric chloride with alcohols, the reactivities of alcohols and the effect of-OR in (2) and (3) on the reactivity of residual chlorine atom have been investigated from estimation of reaction velocity constant and evolved CO₂in the presence of CaCO₂
The reactivities of alcohols were found to be decreased in the order of CH₃OH>C₂H₅OH>η-C₄H₉OH>η-C₃H₇OH>iso-C₃H₇OH, and the deactivation effect of the substituent groups were in order of -NH₂ (-NHAr)>-OR>OAr, -0C₂H₅>-OCH₃.The reactions (1) with various alcohols have been observed at various temperatures and reaction curves were obtained.The results indicated that the reactions were proceeded stepwise.Optimum temperatures for obtaining (2) and (3) were clarified.
