Reaction Steps

75 grams (1 mole) of 3-amino-propanol were treated with 53 grams (1 mole) of acrylonitrile within one hour at 25° C. The mixture was allowed to react further for 1 hour at 40° C. The thus obtained reaction product (128 grams) was directly reacted further with formaldehyde/hydrocyanic acid or formaldehyde/alkali salt of hydrocyanic acid in the presence of alkali hydrogen sulfite.
