This paper is concerned with the synthesis and rearrangement of tris-(2-methyl-2-propenyl) (I), tris-(2-fluoro-2-propenyl) (II), and tris-(2-chloro-2-propenyl) (III) cyanurates. The rearrangement was conducted in toluene solution in presence of CuCl/sub 2/ x 2H/sub 2/O at 118-120/sup 0/. The observed decrease of the rearrangement rate in the case of cyanurates (II) and (III) can probably be attributed deactivation of the double bond due to the strong negative inductive effect of the halogen atom and consequent hindering of complexation of the copper ion with the unsaturated ligand. The deviation of the reactivity of cyanurate (I), containing a CH/sub 3/ group exhibiting the +I effect as a substituent, from the sequence can by attributed to steric hindrance caused by the methyl group, preventing coordination with the bulky copper atom.
