Abstract

The addition reactions of primary aliphatic and cycloaliphatic amines with 1-butyl acrylate have been investigated by means of near IR spectroscopy. The additions proceed contrary to the Markownikoff rule and are consecutive competitive reactions which can be treated as isolated reactions with respect to the considerable difference between rate constants of the individual steps. The value of rate constants determined from the spectral data have been compared and discussed in terms of the steric hindrance of alkyl groups which co-determines the reactivity of amines in the reactions investigated.
