Abstract
Reaction of 2-amino-4, 6-dichloro-s-triazine and aromatic amines by a general method of refluxing for 2hrs, in water while neutralizing reaction solution yielded over 90% of diaryl-melamines in case of 4 kinds of liquid aromatic amines at room temperature. However, this method was unsuitable for reacton of 5 kinds of solid aromatic amines at room temperature. On the other hand, keeping of reacting solution weakly acidic and changing the time of reaction gave an improvement in yield over 90% in case of using of solid amines. Also it was found that an addition of neutralizing agent was not always necessary. Among 10 kinds of synthesized diarylmelamines, di-o-, -m-, and -p-toluylmelamines, mp 194-5°C, 139-40°C and 289-90°C, respectively, di-p-biphenylylmelamine, mp 278-9°C, di-β-naphthylmelamine, mp 217°C (8 hrs reaction), bis-p-acetylaminophenylmelamine, mp 300-1°C (10 min, reaction), and bis-p-aminophenylmelamine, mp 243-4°C (prepared by hydrolysis of the acetyl compound), are new compounds.
