Functionalized C3-Symmetric Building Blocks—The Chemistry of Triaminotrimesic Acid

A series of C₃-symmetric fully substituted benzenes were prepared based on alkyl triamino-benzene-tricarboxylates. Starting with a one step-synthesis, the alkyl triamino-benzene-tricarboxylates were synthesized using the corresponding cyanoacetates. The reactivity of these electronically sophisticated compounds was investigated by the formation of azides, the click reaction of the azides and a Sandmeyer-like reaction. Caused by the low stability of triaminobenzenes, direct N-alkylation was rarely reported. The use of the stable alkyl triamino-benzene-tricarboxylates allowed us total N-alkylation under standard alkylation conditions. The molecular structures of the C₃-symmetric structures have been corroborated by an X-ray analysis.
