“…Ether and polyether amines are valuable synthetic compounds with applications in diverse areas such as surface chemistry, colloid chemistry, and bioconjugate chemistry (Bayat and Akarsu, 2002;Hedberg, 1970;Mongondry et al, 2003). Polyether amines may be used as curing agents, silica deposition agents, in paintings, or as intermediates in the synthesis of polyamides or polyureas (Brandl et al, 2010;Harris et al, 1984;Lin et al, 2010). Ether amines can be produced chemically by a reaction of haloalkyl ethers with ammonia or diamines at high pH and high temperature (Buckmann et al, 1981), or by the cyanoethylation of ether alcohols with acrylonitrile followed by hydrogenation of the corresponding cyanoethers (Froimowicz et al, 2005).…”
