1,3,5-Triazine is a useful replacement for HCN in the Gattermann reaction for the synthesis of aromatic aldehydes. It reacts with nucleophiles, e.g. amines, which is utilized in quinazoline synthesis.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
