Abstract: The present invention relates generally to carboxylated amino-1,3,5-triazines and the preparation thereof via carboxylation of amino-1,3,5-triazines with carbon dioxide and a base. These carboxylated amino-1,3,5-triazines find use, for example, as intermediates in the production of other useful amino-1,3,5-triazine derivatives, and particularly carbamate and isocyanate functional 1,3,5-triazines. The present invention also relates to the preparation of such carbamate and isocyanate functional 1,3,5-triazines.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing tris-substituted alkoxycarbonylamino-1,3,5-triazine compounds, which involves reacting a amino-1,3,5-triazine compound such as melamine, for example, in the presence of excess amounts of carbon monoxide and an alcohol, a sub-stoichiometric amount of a base, a catalyst system that includes a catalytic amount of a primary catalyst of a group VIII metal or metal salt, and a sub-stoichiometric amount of a co-catalyst of a group I-B or lanthanide series metal or metal salt. The reaction is conducted at a temperature, pressure and length of time sufficient to form a tris-substituted alkoxycarbonylamino-1,3,5-triazine compound in a yield of at least about 5 percent, with improved yields of more than 40 percent being conveniently obtained.

Abstract: The present invention relates to carboxylated amino-1,3,5-triazines represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein Z and Z.sup.1 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a hydrocarbyl, a hydrocarbyloxy and a group represented by the formula --N(Q).sub.2 ; each Q is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a hydrocarbyl and a group Y, with the proviso that no more than one Q in each --N(Q.sub.2) is Y; and Y is selected from the group consisting of a carboxyl group and a carboxylate salt group. These carboxylated amino-1,3,5-triazines find use, for example, as intermediates in the production of other useful amino-1,3,5-triazine derivatives, particularly carbamate and isocyanate functional 1,3,5-triazines. The so-produced derivatives may find use as, for example, crosslinking agents in curable compositions.
