Insect Chemosterilants. V. Derivatives of Melamine

Pyrolysis and THM reactions of melamine and its resins

“…Deduced from these results we developed an approach to synthesize methylmelamines via direct methylation of melamine utilizing the THM process. Methylated melamines are used in cancer therapy (penta-and hexamethylmelamine) [10,11] or as insect chemosterilants (monomethylmelamine) [12] and are usually synthesized by the reaction of cyanuric chloride with various methylamines [13].…”

Analysis of N-Methylmelamine Resins with Combined GPC, HPLC, Mass Spectrometric Techniques

“…These were synthesized by reacting cyanuric chloride with methylamine and dimethylamine according to the literature. [11][12] A 30 g amount of trimethylmelamine or a mixture of triand tetramethylmelamine (24 g TRM and 6 g TMM) were suspended in 90 mL water and heated to 70 C. Formaldehyde was added as aqueous solution in a molar ratio of formaldehyde to melamine of 1 to 1.5. The reaction solution was stirred for about 30 min until a viscous resin was formed.…”

Characterization of a Linear Melamine Formaldehyde Resin

“…[10] EXPERIMENTAL SECTION Materials 2,2,4,6-Tetramethylmelamine (TMM) was synthesized by reacting cyanuric chloride with methylamine and dimethylamine according to the literature. [11,12] A 10 g amount of TMM was suspended in 30 mL of water and heated to 70 C. Formaldehyde was added as aqueous solution in a molar ratio of formaldehyde to melamine of 1.2, and the pH adjusted with 100 mL of acetic acid (pH % 6). The reaction solution was stirred for about 10 min until the resin became insoluble.…”
