To synthesize it I started with 2.7g of hexamine which I dissolved in 25ml of water in a beaker. To a separate beaker I added 60ml of 5% sodium hypochlorite solution and 80ml of 5% acetic acid. I then poured the hexamine solution into the hypochlorite/acetic acid mix. Immediately a white precipitate of the product formed.
The precipitate was filtered off. The product tends to decompose to a yellow oil while drying. So every time I try drying the product, it completely decomposes and I am left with nothing. Here's a picture of some wet 1,3,5-trichlorohexahydrotriazine:
