wherein R and R1 independently are alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, or alkyl ether groups substituted by one or more hydroxy and/or alkoxy groups, and Ar represents one of the residues

in which R2 is hydroxy, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, or an alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl ether residue, or polyalkyl ether residue optionally substituted by one or more hydroxy and/or alkoxy groups and R3 is hydrogen or signifies a residue R2 and in which the hydroxy group is present in the α-position to the bonding to the triazine nucleus, with the number of C and O atoms present in R and R1 being a total of 8 to 42, especially 8 to 18, and the number of O atoms corresponding to at most half of the C atoms, are useful as UV-A filters and are disclosed in EP 780,382.
According to EP 780,382 these compounds can be prepared by a process which comprises reacting cyanuric chloride with an amine NH(R,R') in the presence of an equimolar amount of aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and subsequently submitting the amino- substituted dichloro triazine reaction product of the formula II

to a Friedel-Crafts reaction with the appropriate aryl hydrocarbon. The known process has certain drawbacks. Thus, the use of sodium hydroxide in the first step of the process leads to problems in disposal of the sodium chloride which in technical scale production is obtained in larger amounts.
In accordance with the present invention it has been found that the reaction of the cyanuric chloride with the substituted amine NH(R,R1) can be improved by carrying out the reaction in an anhydrous aromatic hydrocarbon, such as anhydrous benzene, toluene or xylene, preferably anhydrous toluene, first at low temperature to form a mixture of a compound of formula II and the amine hydrochloride, NH(R,R1) • HC1, and unreacted cyanuric chloride, and subsequently heating said mixture to convert the remaining cyanuric chloride and amine hydrochloride to the desired dichloro triazine of formula II. In this manner, the formation of sodium chloride that has to be disposed of as waste is avoided.
Further, it has been found that the Friedel-Crafts reaction can be carried out by using methanesulfonic acid as the catalyst which can be recovered thus avoiding the formation of waste which is produced in the work-up procedure of the conventional Friedel-Crafts reaction as disclosed in EP 780,382 where aluminum trichloride is used as a catalyst. Still further, it has been found that the product of the Friedel-Crafts reaction, i.e. the compound of formula I can be isolated from the Friedel-Crafts reaction mixture as an adduct with solvents that form an adduct with the compounds of formula I such as lower alkyl nitriles or lower alkanoic acid lower alkyl esters. From the adduct, the compound of formula I can be obtained in high purity by heating and/or applying reduced pressure.
Thus, in one aspect the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of compounds of the general formula II as defined above, which process comprises reacting cyanuric chloride with a substituted amine NH(R,R1) in substantially equimolar amounts in an anhydrous aromatic hydrocarbon first at low temperature to form a mixture of a compound of formula II and the amine hydrochloride, NH(R,R1) • HC1, and unreacted cyanuric chloride, and subsequently heating said mixture to convert the remaining cyanuric chloride and amine hydrochloride to the desired dichloro triazine of formula II.
In another aspect the invention relates to a process for the preparation of compounds of the general formula I as defined above, which process comprises submitting a compound of the general formula II as defined above to a Friedel-Crafts reaction with an appropriate aryl hydrocarbon ArH to obtain a reaction mixture containing a compound of the formula I, and working up the reaction mixture by adding water and an organic solvent that is substantially water-immiscible, separating, drying and concentrating the solvent phase, isolating the compound of formula I as an adduct with an appropriate solvent, and decomposing subsequently the adduct to obtain the compound of formula I in pure form.
In still another aspect, the invention relates to the novel adducts of the compounds of formula I, particularly the ethyl acetate and acetonitrile adducts.
The term "lower" as used herein denotes groups containing 1 to 5, particularly 1 to 3 carbon atoms. Preferred substantially water-immiscible solvents for use in the work-up of the Friedel-Crafts reaction mixture are lower alkanoic acid lower alkyl esters having a boiling point of less than about 120 °C such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, methyl formiate and ethyl formiate. Particularly preferred is ethylacetate. Appropriate solvents for forming an adduct with the compounds of formula I are lower alkanoic acid lower alkyl esters having a boiling point of less than about 120 °C, and lower alkyl nitriles. Particularly preferred solvents for adduct formation are ethylacetate and acetonitrile.
In a preferred aspect, the invention relates to the preparation of compounds of formula I and II, respectively, wherein Ar is 2,4-dihydroxyphenyl and R and R1 are 2-ethylhexyl.
The reaction of cyanuric chloride with the amine NH RjR1) is first carried out at low temperature, e.g., at about -20 °C to about 70 °C, preferably at -10 °C to about 20 °C, At low temperature, a mixture of about equimolar amounts of dichloro triazine of formula II, amine hydrohalogenide and unreacted cyanuric chloride is formed as can be readily determined by conventional analytical procedures such as gas chromatography.
Thereafter, the so-obtained reaction mixture is heated to elevated temperature, e.g., to reflux temperature thus converting unreacted cyanuric chloride and amine hydrohalogenide to the desired compound of formula II.
The subsequent Friedel-Crafts reaction can be carried out in the same solvent as used in the reaction of the cyanuric chloride with the amine, e.g., in benzene, toluene or xylene. The reaction can be carried out with catalysts which are conventional for this particular reaction, i.e. Lewis acids such as aluminum chloride as disclosed in EP 780,382. However, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, methanesulfonic acid is used as the catalyst in the Friedel-Crafts reaction. When using methanesulfonic acid as the catalyst, the hydrocarbon used as the solvent in the preceding amination reaction is removed prior to the Friedel-Crafts reaction and the Friedel-Crafts reaction is suitably carried out at a temperature of about 10 to 30°C. At this temperature, optimal yield and purity of the desired compound of formula I is achieved in a reaction time of about 2 days. The amount of catalyst is suitably 2 to 4 g of methanesulfonic acid per mmole of substituted amino dichlorotriazine. When using a Lewis acid such as aluminum chloride the Friedel-Crafts reaction can be carried out at about 70 to 100 °C and using about 1,5 to 3 mole of catalyst per mole of compound of formula II.
The Friedel-Crafts reaction mixture is worked up by adding water and, if required, an organic solvent to obtain a suspension comprising a solvent phase and an aqueous phase. The suspension is filtered and the filter cake resuspended in an organic solvent that is substantially immiscible with water. The organic phase is then washed with water until the suspension has dissolved. Alternatively, the organic phase obtained after adding water to the Friedel-Crafts reaction is washed with water without prior separating the solids. In either case the organic phase is separated and concentrated. If an appropriate solvent that is capable to form an adduct or solvate was used an adduct or solvate of the compound of formula I is thus obtained. Otherwise, e.g., to, the residue is recrystallised from a solvent that is capable to form such adduct or solvate. Finally, the adduct or solvate of the compound of formula I is converted to the pure compound of formula I by heating, e.g. up to about 80 °C to about 120 °C and/or applying reduced pressure, e.g. 1 to 30 mbar.

After the addition was complete the reaction mixture was stirred for 3,5 h under reflux. After 2 h the production of gaseous HC1 had nearly ceased. The solution was cooled to 70°C and there was added 28.6g aluminiumchloride, 20.2g sulfolane and 23.6g resocinol. The mixture was stirred for 3 days at 90°C. The reaction mixture was poured onto a stirred mixture of 600 ml ethylacetate and 350 ml water. The organic phase was separated and washed three times with water. The organic phase was evaporated to dryness and crystallised from acetonitrile at 0°C. The yellow suspension was sucked off and washed with acetonitrile to yield the acetonitrile adduct (solvate) of 4,4'- [6- [bis- (2- ethylhexyl)amino]-s-triazine-2,4-diyl]-diresorcinol. After drying the solvate at 100°C under vacuum there was obtained 42.6 g of 4,4'-[6-[bis-(2-ethylhexyl)amino]-s-triazine- 2,4-diyl]-diresorcinol, purity (HPLC) 97 %. Yield 77 %.
