The behavior of 1, 3, 5-trialkyl-1, 3, 5-hexahydrotriazines (A) in a variety of solvents was investigated by 1H NMR. A are stable for linear alkyls in deuterated solvents such as chloroform, benzene, acetone, dioxane, dimethylsulfoxide and acetonitrile. In case of branched alkyls, A are in equilibrium with N-methylenealkylamines (B). The A/B ratio depends on solvent, concentration of the sample and temperature. A react easily with ...
