Some less hindered 2,4,6‐tri‐aryloxy‐s‐triazines were synthesized through the reaction of the corresponding phenols as a starting materials with cyanogen bromide (BrCN) to obtain the corresponding arylcyanates and then trimerized. Unexpectedly, 2,4‐di‐tert‐butyl‐1‐cyanatobenzene derived from 2,4‐di‐tert‐butylphenol did not trimerize but, indeed, yielded bis(2,4‐di‐tert‐butylphenyl) carbonate. The structures of 2,4,6‐tri‐aryloxy‐s‐triazines and bis(2,4‐di‐tert‐butylphenyl) carbonate were characterized by means of IR, 1H, and 13C NMR spectroscopies. Also the structure of the latter compound was studied by X‐ray crystallography.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
