2,4,6-Trioxo-1,3,5-triazine-1,3,5(2H,4H,6H)-triacetic acid
CAS 1968-52-1
Three carboxylic acids, one rigid center: CAS 1968-52-1 shows how molecular symmetry can turn a small heterocycle into a three-way chemical connector.
CAS 1968-52-1, tris(carboxymethyl) isocyanurate, is a molecular three-way junction: a rigid isocyanurate ring carries three carboxymethyl arms. The carboxyl groups can support salt formation, coupling, coordination or network chemistry, while the central ring fixes them in a compact framework. It is a neat example of using molecular symmetry to create a multifunctional building block.
