Cyanuric bromide is aheterocyclic compound with formula C3N3Br3. It contains a six-membered ring of alternatingnitrogen and carbon atoms, with abromine atom attached to each carbon. It is formed by the spontaneoustrimerisation ofcyanogen bromide.
Cyanuric bromide can be used to synthesize substitutedtriazines.[2] For example it reacts withanilines to form derivatives ofmelamine.[3] With ammonia,melamine is produced. Primary or secondary amines react.[1]Cyanuric trihydrazide is produced in the reaction withhydrazine.[1] When heated withurea at 140 °C,ammelide is formed.[1]
Cyanuric bromide reacts with water, particularly in alkaline conditions tocyanuric acid[4] andhydrogen bromide.[1]
Cyanuric bromide can add bromine to other compounds and when it is heated with acetic acid,acetyl bromide is produced.[1]
Cyanuric bromide can form in a reaction withpotassium ferrocyanide with bromine at 200 °C.[1] The trimerization reaction of cyanogen bromide (BrCN) is catalyzed byaluminium trichloride orhydrogen bromide.[1]
