Abstract

The structure of N-(P-aminoethyl)-morpholine suggested that it might be an excellent reagent for the characterization of esters. It possesses an amino group located at a favorable position to give added basicity to the morpholine molecule. The compound also contains a tertiary nitrogen atom which should enable the molecule to undergo quaternization with ease, thus affording a second derivative of the ester in doubtful cases, or where the N-(P- ...
