PEL =Ammeline (4,6-Diamino-2-hydroxy-1,3,5-triazine) is a triazine. It is the hydrolysis product of
melamine .ynthesis
Ammeline can be synthesized by the pyrolysis of urea, or the condensation reaction amond 2 moles of
dicyandiamide with 1 mole ofbiuret .: 2C2H4N4 + C2H5N3O2 → 2C3H5N5O + NH3Chemical property
Ammeline is weakly acidic with
pKa ~9. It can formnitrate ,sulfate ,chromate and oxalate salts. Ammeline reacts with boiling dilutehydrochloric acid to formmelem andammonia .Ammeline is the first step in melamine hydrolysis. Further hydrolysis (e.g. boiling ammeline with dilute alkali) yields
ammelide .References
