Description

Formamide, N-[3-(Dimethylamino)propyl]-N-methyl- (9CI) is a specialized tertiary amine derivative of formamide, valued for its unique bifunctional structure containing both amide and tertiary amine groups. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and building block in advanced organic synthesis, particularly where tailored nucleophilicity and solubility are required. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development teams in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for creating novel active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially for molecules requiring a polar, functionalizable side chain.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development and production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Polymer Chemistry: Acts as a monomer or modifier in the production of specialty polymers, including polyamides and coatings.
• Ligand and Catalyst Preparation: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing complex ligands used in homogeneous catalysis and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Employed in nucleophilic substitution and condensation reactions to introduce the N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-N-methylformamido moiety.
• Research & Development: A valuable tool compound in medicinal chemistry and chemical biology for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.

Quality Control

Our Formamide, N-[3-(Dimethylamino)propyl]-N-methyl- (9CI) is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopic methods, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
