Herbizide,VI [1] kernfluorierte 2,4-dianilino-6-(dihexylamino)-1,3,5-triazine

The nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine atoms in 2,4-dichloro- 6-(dihexylamino)-1,3,5-triazine by aniline leads to 2,4-dianilino-6-(dihexylamino)- 1,3,5-triazine and by fluorinated amines to (dihexylamino)- 1,3,5-triazines bearing groupings as follows: (2-fluoroanilino)-, (3-fluoroanilino)-, (4-fluoroanilino)-, (2,4-difluoroanilino)-, (2,5-difluoroanilino)-, and (2,6-difluoroanilino)-. The new compounds are characterized by IR, ¹-NMR, and mass spectroscopy. 2,4-Bis-(2,4-difluoroanilino)- 6-(dihexylamino)-1,3,5-triazine in particular shows herbicidal and anti- diabetic activity.
