Atrazine: spot the regiochemistry flaw

Single question

Two-step SNAr route to atrazine: cyanuric chloride plus ethylamine, then plus isopropylamine. Reagents and reaction class are right. Check where the second amine lands on the triazine ring.

Sequential SNAr on cyanuric chloride
Temperature staging for 1,3,5-triazines
Regiochemistry of the second and third Cl displacement
