Microwave-assisted clean synthesis of 6-aryl-2,4-diamino-1,3,5-triazines in [bmim][PF6]

An efficient and green approach was developed to prepare 6-aryl-2,4-diamino-1,3,5-triazines from corresponding arylnitriles and dicyanodiamide in ionic liquid [bmim][PF6] under computer-controlled microwave irradiation. Particularly valuable features of this method included the short reaction time, good yield, convenient operation and eco-friendly solvent.
