Cyameluric acid or 2,5,8-trihydroxy-s-heptazine is a chemical compound with formula C
6N
7O
3H
3, usually described as a heptazine molecule with the hydrogen atoms replaced by hydroxyl groups –OH; or any of its tautomers.
The substance exists as an equilibrium of 17 tautomers that easily interconvert among each other. Calculations show that the symmetric tri-oxo form (1,4,7-trihydro-2,5,8-trioxo-s-heptazine) is the most stable.[1] Therefore, this compound contains amide groups rather than imidic acids.
