Description

n-(2-Aminomethyl)Cyclopropanamine is a versatile bifunctional amine featuring both a primary amine and a cyclopropane ring, making it a valuable building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its unique structure enables the introduction of rigid, three-membered carbon rings and reactive amine handles into target molecules, which is critical for modulating physicochemical properties. This compound is primarily sought after by research chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for creating novel active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those requiring conformationally constrained scaffolds or bifunctional linkers for prodrug strategies.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of new herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides where the cyclopropane moiety can enhance biological activity and environmental stability.
• Polymer Modification: Serves as a cross-linking agent or chain extender in specialty polymers, epoxies, and polyurethanes to improve thermal and mechanical properties.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Employed in the preparation of chelating ligands for metal catalysts used in asymmetric synthesis and other catalytic processes.
• Bioconjugation Chemistry: Useful linker molecule for attaching dyes, probes, or drugs to proteins, antibodies, or other biomolecules in diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
• Material Science Research: Building block for creating novel organic frameworks, dendrimers, and surface modifiers with specific functional group density.

Quality Control

Our n-(2-Aminomethyl)Cyclopropanamine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
