DIGLYCIDYL DERIVATIVES OF N-HETEROCYCLIC CPDS. N1-. of the formula: (where X1, X2, Y1 and Y2 are H or CH3, Z is a nitrogen-free, divalent residue which completes a (substituted) heterocyclic ring with 5 or 6 atoms, and m and n are each integers 0-30, preferably 0-4, m + n being 1), are prepared by reacting a (di)alcohol of formula: with a (beta-methyl)epihalohydrin. The ethers (I) can be hardened by means of the usual hardeners for polyfunctional epoxy compounds or epoxy resins. The curable compositions can be used for cast or pressed articles, laminates, coatings or adhesives. They are liquids of relatively low viscosity, and can be used as reactive diluents for epoxy resins. |
