FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aldimines of formula (I)
where A does not contain active hydrogen and a primary amine group, or together with R7 denotes a (n+2)-valent hydrocarbon radical containing 3-20 carbon atoms and, if necessary, at least one heteroatom in form of oxygen of an ether group or nitrogen or a tertiary amine group; n equals 1, 2, 3 or 4; m equals 0,1, 2, 3 or 4; R1 and R2 each denotes a univalent hydrocarbon residue with 1-12 carbon atoms or together denote a divalent hydrocarbon radical which is part of a carbocyclic ring with 5-8 carbon atoms; R3 denotes H or alkyl; R4 and R5 independently denote CH3 or a univalent aliphatic radical containing 2-12 carbon atoms and optionally hydroxy groups; X denotes O, S, N-R6, or N-R7, where R6 denotes a univalent hydrocarbon radical containing 1-20 carbon atoms and having at least one hydroxy group; as well as curable compositions containing such aldimines and use of said compositions.
EFFECT: obtaining novel aldimines which can be used as curing agents in curable compositions.
