A compound of formula (I) having advantageous properties when used as a latent curing agent for compositions containing isocyanate groups, and to compositions containing the compound of formula (I). The compound of formula (I) is odourless, is liquid and has comparatively low viscosity at room temperature and is stable in storage together with isocyanates. It makes possible odourless single-component polyurethane compositions which have good stability in storage, do not produce bubbles when cured in the presence of moisture, and cause no problematic odour emissions, giving a cured elastic material having good mechanical properties, good heat stability, a surprisingly non-adhesive surface and little tendency towards plasticizer migration.
