Reactions betweens aromatic primary amines and 2-amino-4, 6-dichloro-S-triazinetype compounds (A) in tetrahydrofuran have been investigated. The reaetionr between (A) and
p-toluidine showed good agreement with a simple second order eaction without accompanying auto-catalytic action.The reaction with aniline or
p-chloroaniline was clearly an auto-catalytic reaction and the reaction rate increased with the progress of The reaction.In case of the auto-catalytic reactions, compounds with R=-NH
2 or -NHCH
3 showed far greater reactivities than the compound with R=-N(CH
3)
2. There was no induction period in the autocatalytic reaction. Also, auto-catalytic actions were observed on those of R=-N(CH
3)
2 and-NC
6H
5 CH
3 without hydrogen on amino nitrogen atom. These self-catalytic actions were considered to be due to the activation of the central carbon atom by the addition of proton on the nitrogen atom of the heterocyclic ring.
