The compound can be prepared in the following way: The reaction of a large excess of epichlorohydrin (II) with cyanuric acid (I) at a temperature above 60 C leads to the 1,3,5-tris(oxiranylmethyl)-substituted derivative (III). Thus, epichlorohydrin functions both as alkylating agent and base. The addition of sodium hydroxide accelerates and completes the hydrogen chloride abstraction after the first step of the reaction. Fractional crystallization of the product gives the alpha and beta stereoisomers.
