PURPOSE:To obtain the title compound useful as raw materials for polymers, curing accelerators for epoxy resins, pesticides, and their intermediates, in a high selectivity, by reacting the amino group of alpha-amino-epsilon-caprolactam with an epoxy compound readily. CONSTITUTION:alpha-Amino-epsilon-caprolactam, obtained by amination of alpha-chloro-epsilon-capolactam, is reacted with an epoxy compound of formula I: [R<1> is H, lower alkyl, lower halogenated alkyl, methylol, or group formula IV(R<2> is H, alkyl, acrylate, or methacrylate group)], e.g. ethylene oxide, in a solvent, e.g. water or chloroform, at 20-150 deg.C to give the title compound of formula II: (R<4> is formula III; R<3> is H or formula III). |
