Abstract
The reaction of cyanuric fluoride with amines to form monocondensation products is possible in high yields by subjecting the educts to rapid thorough mixing and then bringing the reaction to completion under plug flow conditions.
Claims15
A process for the continuous reaction of cyanuric fluoride with amines, which comprises passing cyanuric fluoride and an aqueous solution of an aminonaphthalenesulfonic acid simultaneously and continuously into a flow reactor, performing thorough mixing there, then passing the reaction mixture into a second reactor in which there is only little back-mixing but good radial mixing, and completing the reaction there, wherein the reaction is carried out at 0.degree. to 50.degree. C. and at a pH between 1 and 8, and wherein the conversion in the first reactor is at most 50%.
