I'm guessing at a different transliteration of morpholine (and epichlorohydrin) from someone whose first language isn't English, but I may be entirely wrong.

If that is the case we do not have enough information for proper answer. Epichlorohydrin N-alkylates morpholine, but depending on reaction conditions and reaction stoichiometry, the first product 4-(oxiran-2-ylmethyl)morpholine, can alkylate another molecule of morpholine to give 1,3-di(morpholin-4-yl)propan-2-ol (or their hydrochlorides, hence the "brown colour paste").



…there is a human touch of the cultist “believer” in every theorist that he must struggle against as being unworthy of the scientist. Some of the greatest men of science have publicly repudiated a theory which earlier they hotly defended. In this lies their scientific temper, not in the scientific defense of the theory. - Weston La Barre (Ghost Dance, 1972)
