Basic Information
Product Name: 3-Dimethylaminopropylchloride hydrochloride
CAS Number: 5407-04-5
Alias: 3-Chloro-N,N-dimethylpropan-1-amine hydrochloride, DMAP-Cl hydrochloride
Molecular Formula: C5H13Cl2N
Molecular Weight: 158.07 g/mol
IUPAC Name: 3-chloro-N,N-dimethylpropan-1-amine hydrochloride
Structural Information
- Structure Type: Aliphatic amine hydrochloride salt, halogenated alkylamine derivative
- Structural Features: Straight-chain alkyl structure containing dimethylamino group and chloro group. The amine group forms salt with hydrochloric acid, which greatly improves water solubility and chemical stability.
Physical & Chemical Properties
- Appearance: White to off-white crystalline powder
- Odor: Slight amine odor
- Melting Point: 185–190 °C
- Solubility: Freely soluble in water, methanol and ethanol; slightly soluble in acetone; practically insoluble in ether, benzene and alkanes
- Stability: Stable under normal temperature and sealed dry conditions. Easy to decompose under high temperature and strong alkaline environment. Avoid contact with strong oxidants.
Synthesis & Applications
Synthesis Method
Synthesized by the reaction of 3-chloropropanol and dimethylamine, followed by salification with hydrochloric acid. The crude product is concentrated, crystallized and recrystallized to obtain high-purity finished product.
Main Applications
- Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Key raw material for synthesizing various drugs such as antihistamines, neural drugs and anti-inflammatory agents.
- Surfactant Industry: Used to produce cationic surfactants, flocculants and emulsifiers.
- Organic Synthesis: Important alkylating agent for fine chemical synthesis and quaternary ammonium salt preparation.
- Coating & Water Treatment: Applied as additive for industrial coatings and water treatment chemicals.
Safety & Storage Instructions
- Hazard Classification: Corrosive and irritant; harmful if swallowed. Irritates severely to skin, eyes and respiratory tract.
- Personal Protection: Wear chemical goggles, gas mask and heavy-duty chemical resistant gloves. Avoid inhalation, ingestion and skin contact. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water immediately.
- Storage Condition: Keep containers tightly sealed. Store in cool, dry, dark and well-ventilated area. Separated from alkalis, oxidants, food and daily supplies.
- Transportation: Regarded as corrosive chemicals. Follow relevant transportation regulations, prevent leakage, collision and dampness during transit.
Quality & Spectral Data
- Purity (HPLC): ≥99.0%
- Loss on Drying: ≤0.5%
- Residue on Ignition: ≤0.1%
- pH (5% Aqueous Solution): 3.0 ~ 5.0
- IR Spectrum: Characteristic absorption peaks conform to standard reference spectrum
