Description

2,2-Dimethyl-Cyclopropylamine is a versatile and highly reactive cyclopropylamine derivative, serving as a critical chiral building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its unique sterically hindered structure makes it invaluable for introducing the cyclopropyl moiety, a key pharmacophore known to enhance metabolic stability and modulate biological activity in drug candidates. This high-purity intermediate is essential for research and production within the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries, where precise molecular architecture is paramount.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in antiviral, anticancer, and central nervous system (CNS) drug discovery programs.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the manufacture of advanced pesticides and herbicides, where the cyclopropyl group contributes to improved efficacy and environmental profile.
• Ligand and Catalyst Preparation: Employed in the development of chiral ligands and organocatalysts for asymmetric synthesis, enabling high enantioselectivity in critical bond-forming reactions.
• Fine Chemical Production: Serves as a precursor for various specialty chemicals, including dyes, flavors, and fragrances requiring specific stereochemistry.
• Material Science Research: Investigated as a monomer or modifying agent for polymers and advanced materials with tailored thermal and mechanical properties.

Quality Control

Our 2,2-Dimethyl-Cyclopropylamine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopic methods, to ensure high chemical purity and consistent performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and highly volatile nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
