catalyst for reaction between secondary amine and epoxy/oxirane
« on: September 03, 2007, 11:42:22 PM »
Hi,
I am trying to find a catalyst that will make a secondary amine react by opening an epoxy ring at room temperature.  primary amines react readily with epoxy groups but not secondary amines.  Do you think adding an acid or base would facilitate this?  Or does anybody know any other catalyst/additive that will facilitate this reaction at room temperature.  Thanks!
