The reaction of equimolecular amounts of a nitrile and triflic anhydride or triflic acid at low temperature produces an intermediate nitrilium salt that subsequently reacts with 2 equiv of a different nitrile at higher temperature to form 2,4-disusbstituted-6-substituted 1,3,5-triazines in moderate to good yields. This synthetic procedure has also been applied to the preparation of a 1,3,5-triazine having three different substituents. The results are explained in terms of a mechanism based on the relative stability of the intermediate nitrilium salts that are formed through a reversible pathway.
