Aromaticity in cyanuric acid

This study analyzes the aromatic nature of cyanuric acid (hexahydrotriazine) and some of its derivatives, in terms of aromatic stabilization energy (ASE) and electronic behavior. The simplest molecule (C(3)N(3)O(3)H(3)) is the most aromatic item out of the entire set, but some of the others also display aromatic character. The structure of all the rings is analyzed considering their molecular o...

Interference in Melamine–based Determination of Cyanuric Acid Concentration

Isocyanuric acid (commonly referred to in the swimming pool/spa industry as cyanuric acid, stabilizer, conditioner, CYA, etc., and referred to simply as cyanuric acid in this paper) is a member of the symmetrical triazine family, and it is used in outdoor swimming pools and spas to protect chlorine against loss from ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Depending on factors such as season and cli...

Ring cleavage and degradative pathway of cyanuric acid in bacteria.

The degradative pathway of cyanuric acid [1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione] was examined in Pseudomonas sp. strain D. The bacterium grew with cyanuric acid, biuret, urea or NH4+ as sole source of nitrogen, and each substrate was entirely metabolized concomitantly with growth. Enzymes from strain D were separated by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and three reactions were examined. Cyanuri...
