Epoxide rings can be opened by carboxylic acids (Jacobsen E. N., Kakiuchi F., Konsler R. G., Larrow J. F., Tokunaga M. Tetrahedron Letters, Volume 38, Issue 5, 1997, p. 773-776).
Ethylene imine reacts violently with acetic acid (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 1554).
