Hey ChemicalForums!
What happens if you react pyrrolidine (

) with 1,2-epoxypropane (

My class hasn't covered the chapter on amines yet, so I'm really lost on this one. If you wouldn't mind, could you please provide the answer along with an explanation?

Amines are nucleophiles. Does that help?

Why do you think the attack on the epoxide would be on the carbon you have drawn?
