Abstract

The near IR region spectroscopy has been used to follow the addition reactions of the secondary amino groups of the tert-butyl 3-butylaminopropanoate, N,N'-dibutyl-3-aminopropanamide, and dibutylamine to tert-butyl acrylate. The additions are bimolecular reactions of the second order. The respective rate constants found for the above-mentioned compounds are 3·54 . 10-6, 2·34 . 10-5, and 3·18 . 10-6 l mol-1 s-1. The secondary amidic groups increase the nucleophilicity of secondary amino group and hence also the rate of the addition reaction.
