Notes:
The hydrolysis of N,N′-bis(hydroxymethyl)melamine [6-amino-2,4-bis(hydroxymethylamino)-1,3,5-triazine] to N-(hydroxymethyl)melamine [2,4-diamino-6-(hydroxymethylamino)-1,3,5-triazine] was studied in dimethyl sulfoxide/water (volume ratio 1:9) using sodium hydroxide as a basic catalyst, in the region [Sodium hydroxide]0=0 to 2 mol·1-1. The study of the dependence of logk on the pH revealed that logk is nearly constant in the range of pH≈8-10 and increases with the slope of d(logk)/d(pH)≈1 in the region of pH≈11-13,5, followed by a gradual saturation at a stronger basic region where k is a first order rate constant. A rate equation for the hydrolysis is proposed, and the hydrolysis mechanism was elucidated by comparison of the theoretical curves resulting from this rate equation with the corresponding experimental curves.
