SYNTHESIS OF 2,4,6,8,10,12-HEXABENZYL-2,4,6,12-HEXAAZATETRACYCLO DODECANE USING MELAMINIUM TRI(HYDROGENSULFATE) AS A SOLID ACID CATALYST

Abstract

In this article, the authors successfully synthesized 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexabenzyl-2,4,6,12-hexaazatetracyclo dodecane (HBIW) through a condensation reaction using melaminium tri(hydrogensulfate) as a solid acid catalyst. The structural characteristics of the product were determined using modern analytical methods: IR, DSC, NMR, and HPLC. Factors influencing the yield of the HBIW synthesis reaction were examined, including catalysts and catalyst amount. The results show that using melaminium tri(hydrogensulfate) as a solid catalyst at 10% mol of glyoxal, yields an optimal yield of 89.86%.
