I would like to know if there is a way to follow the reaction leading to the formation of 1,3,5-triazines using a alkyne and dicyanamide other than NMR? Preferabally using TLC but I can't find a way to "reveal" my spots.
TLCcan be performed using aluminum-backed Merck Silica Gel 60 F-254 plates using suitable solvent systems with spots being visualized by a Spectroline UV Lamp (254 or 365 nm) or Iodine vapor.
