A triazine is class of nitrogen-containing heterocycles. The parent molecules' molecular formula is C3H3N3. They exist in three isomeric forms, 1,3,5-triazines being common.
The triazines have planar six-membered benzene-like ring but with three carbons replaced by nitrogens. The three isomers of triazine are distinguished by the positions of their nitrogen atoms, and are referred to as 1,2,3-triazine, 1,2,4-triazine, and 1,3,5-triazine. Other aromatic nitrogen heterocycles are pyridines with one ring nitrogen atom, diazines with 2 nitrogen atoms in the ring and tetrazines with 4 ring nitrogen atoms.
The best known triazines are derivatives of the 1,3,5-triazine derivatives melamine and cyanuric chloride (2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine). With three amino substituents melamine is a precursor to commercial resins. Another triazine extensively used in resins is benzoguanamine. Chlorine-substituted triazines are components of reactive dyes. These compounds react through a chlorine group with hydroxyl groups present in cellulose fibres in nucleophilic substitution, the other triazine positions contain chromophores. Triazine compounds are often used as the basis for various herbicides.
1,3,5-triazine, also called s-triazine, is an organic chemical compound with the formula (HCN)3. It is a six-membered heterocyclic aromatic ring, one of several isomeric triazines. S-triazine and its derivatives are useful in a variety of applications.
Symmetrical 1,3,5-triazines are prepared by trimerization of certain nitriles such as cyanogen chloride or cyanimide. Benzoguanamine (with one phenyl and 2 amino substituents) is synthesised from benzonitrile and dicyandiamide. In the Pinner triazine synthesis (named after Adolf Pinner ) the reactants are an alkyl or aryl amidine and phosgene Insertion of N-H moiety into hydrazide by a copper carbenoid, followed by treatment with ammonium chloride also gives the triazine core.
As a reagent in organic synthesis, s-triazine is used as the equivalent of hydrogen cyanide (HCN). Being a solid (vs a gas for HCN), triazine is sometimes easier to handle in the laboratory. One application is in the Gattermann reaction, used to attach the formyl group to aromatic substrates.
Raise a treason delights love
Raise a treason tonight…
The wall is closing town
Midnight blue
You saw it on my back
Black and blue
The eyes are watching us
Like a zoo
The morning never comes
In front of you
Don't know
The way we should go
Don't know
How long until dawn
Don't know
Allies and foes
Oh, why don't you hold me
Now?
Raise a treason delights love
Raise a treason tonight
Raise a treason delights love
