SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF sym-TRIAZENE DERIVATIVES 12. SYNTHESIS OF 2,4-BIS(TRICHLOROMETHYL)-6-SUBSTITUTED sym-TRIAZENES CONTAINING A STERICALLY HINDERED PHENOL GROUP

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF01165016

6-Substituted 2,4-bis(trichloromethyl)-sym-triazenes containing the 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol group are synthesized by simultaneous cyclotrimerization of trichloroacetonitrile with the nitrile or thiocyanate derivative of the sterically hindered phenol in the presence of gaseous HCl.Significant amounts of 2,4,6-tris(trichloromethyl)-sym-triazene are formed as a by-product.
