Self Condensation of Guanyl-O-methylisourea and Condensation of Guanyl-O-methylisourea with some Amino Compounds

Abstract

Self condensation of guanyl-O-methylisourea and condensation of guanyl-Omethylisourea with some amino compounds were studied with reference to the formation of s-triazine compounds. When the reactant was in the form of a free base, the condensation reaction occured by eliminating alcohol. On the other hand, when its salt was added to the free base, the elimination of ammonia or guanidine became predominant depending on the amount of the salt added, and the corresponding s-triazine was obtained. The mechanism of these reactions wass discussed.
