Nucleophilic substitution reactions of 2,4,6-tris(trinitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine. 2. interaction of 2,4,6-tris(trinitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine with primary amines and hexamethyldisilazane

2-R-amino-4,6-bis (trinitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazines have been synthesized, and their structures have been established. Dynamic¹³C NMR spectroscopy has been used to measure the rotational barriers of the tertbutylamino group around the C₍₂₎-NHBu-t bond in 2-(tert-butylamino)-4,6-dichloro-1, 3, 5-triazine and 2-(tertbutylamino)-4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazine. X-ray diffraction was used to investigate the structure of 2-(tertbutylamino)-4,6-bis (trinitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine. From the results obtained in this work it has been concluded that the bond between the NHBu-t group and the triazine ring has a partial double-bond character.N. D.
