(Received 7/day •966) The well-kno~rn s o l v o ] ~ i c
substitution
reactions
of the tr~eric
phospho-
nitrilic halides, (NPX2)s, suggest that parallel behavior may be expected with the isoelectronic sulfanuric halides, (NSGX) S.
However, preliminary studies
involving ~_-sulfanuric chloride, the most readily accessible of the trimeric sulfanuric halides, indicate either solvolysis by ammonia followed by polymerization to yield melam and melem analogs (1) or ring cleavage with morphollne to form N_~N'-dlmorpholidosulfamide (2), but give no evidences for the formation of readily isolable substitution products. We have now established that under controlled conditions morphollne can react with ~_-sulfanuric chloride without ring cleavage and with the formation of colorless, crystalline trimorpholido derivatives,
with benzene as solvent
and a sufficient excess of morpholine present to function as a hydrogen chloride acceptor, a trlmorpholido compound (I), melting at 171-172@C. (uncorr.) after recrystallization from acetonitrile and absolute ethanol, was obtained in 40-50% initial yield.
With benzene as solvent and a sufficient quantity of
trlethylamine present to serve as a preferential hydrogen chloride acceptor, a mixed product (melting point 160-162°C. ) was obtained in 45-54% initial yield. From this mixture, a second trimorpholido compound (I_~I), melting at 196-197@C. (uncorr.), was separated from I by recrystallization from absolute ethanol in 3~-49% overall yield.
With acetonitrile as solvent and excess morphollne pres-
ent, compound I_IIwas obtained in ca. 56% overall yield.
Each reaction was car-
ried out by adding a solution of ~_-sulfanuric chloride (2) in theappropriate solvent dropwise over a period of 1-1.5 hrs. to a well-stirred and externally

strong bands at 942-948 cm. -~ are probably assignable to exocyclic S-N vibrations since they are absent in the spectra of the halides.
The complexity of
the S-N spectra in the 715-767 cm. -~ region (3) is probably a consequence of the presence of both exo- and endocyclic S-N bonds.
