135Triaminobenzene

1,3,5-Triaminobenzene, also known as phloroglucinol triamine or symmetrical triaminobenzene, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H9N3. It is a derivative of benzene where three amino groups (-NH2) are attached to the benzene ring at the 1, 3, and 5 positions. This arrangement results in a symmetrical molecule.

In its pure form, 1,3,5-triaminobenzene is typically a crystalline solid. It is soluble in various organic solvents and to some extent in water. The presence of the amino groups makes it a basic compound. Like other aromatic amines, it can undergo various chemical reactions, including oxidation, substitution, and condensation.

1,3,5-Triaminobenzene has found applications primarily as a chemical intermediate. It can be used in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and polymers. Its symmetrical structure and reactive amino groups make it a useful building block for creating more complex molecules with specific properties. Research has also explored its potential in areas such as material science and as a component in certain analytical reagents. Due to its reactive nature, it is often handled with care in laboratory and industrial settings.
