Zur Reaktion von monosubstituierten Epoxypropanen mit Benzylamin. 1. Mitteilung über Ringöffnungsreaktionen kleiner Ringe

Reaction of monosubstituted epoxypropanes with benzylamine The reaction of the epoxides of the general formula with benzylamine at 40, 50 and 60°C has been examined. The determination of rate constants by variation of X has shown, that in the case of X = S or N no anchimeric acceleration occurred. These results have been approved by product analysis and by synthesis of the possible reaction products. Transition states of the epoxide/benzyl‐amine reaction are discussed by means of the experimentally determined activation energy and activation entropy.
