Kv. Shirshin et al., REACTION BETWEEN METHYL(METH)ACRYLATE AND N,N-DIMETHYLAMINOPROPYLAMINE, Journal of applied chemistry of the USSR, 65(6), 1992, pp. 1148-1152
A study was made of the reaction between methyl(meth)acrylate and N,N-
dimethylaminopropylamine at 20-240-degrees-C to establish the effect t
hat reagent ratio and structure, temperature, and catalyst type have o
n the competing reactions in the system. Addition of amino groups at t
he C=C bonds and amidation of the ester groups were found to be the pr
incipal. interactions. It was shown that addition reactions predominat
ed at lower temperatures (up to 125-degrees-150-degrees-C). Lead(II) a
cetate was observed to accelerate amidation just as effectively as kno
wn organotin catalysts.
