Formation of 2-imino-1,4-benzodioxan and its trimerisation to give a derivative of 1,3,5-triazine
Abstract
2-Imino-1,4-benzodioxan has been prepared and shows no evidence of being in equilibrium with its tautomer (o-acetoxyphenoxy)acetonitrile either in the solid state or in solution in dimethyl sulphoxide. Acetylation of this compound with acetic anhydride is accompanied by trimerisation to give 2,4,6-tris-(o-acetoxyphenoxymethyl)-1,3,5-triazine.
