Intermediate 2-cyanamino 1,3,5-triazine derivatives

Abstract

A process for the preparation of a 2-cyanamino-4,6-dialkoxy-1,3,5-triazine of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each alkoxy, which comprises reacting ##STR2## with Na.sub.2 N--CN to produce ##STR3## acidifying that to produce ##STR4## and reacting that with at least twice the molar amount of R.sup.2 Na in the presence of a diluent, then adding water and acidifying the mixture. The intermediates are new and the known end products can be used to synthesize herbicides.
