Analyze the feasibility of the epoxy group reacting with the amine group of iminodisuccinic acid.
Accepted Answer
The epoxy group is highly reactive towards nucleophiles, and the amine group of iminodisuccinic acid is a strong nucleophile. Therefore, the reaction between an epoxy group and the amine group of iminodisuccinic acid is feasible. This reaction is likely to proceed via nucleophilic ring opening of the epoxy group, resulting in the formation of a new C-N bond and the opening of the epoxide ring.
