This work describes results of investigations relative to composition
and structure of the initial products of the addition of oxiranes to m
elamine analyzed by H-1-NMR spectrometry. The work Algebraic equations
are shown that describe changes of contents in the functional groups
of intermediate products in the function of the number of moles of oxi
rane that were attached. Reactivity of individual function groups of i
ntermediate products are also discussed. The structure of polyetherols
with an s-triazine ring that forms in the reaction of melamine with o
xiranes is proposed on the basis of these investigations. (C) 1995 Joh
