Product Description
3-Dimethylaminopropylamine (DMAPA) is a versatile aliphatic amine compound, appearing as a colorless to slightly yellow liquid with a characteristic amine odor. It is highly soluble in water and common organic solvents. DMAPA is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of a wide range of chemical products, including surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, water treatment chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Its bifunctional nature, possessing both a tertiary amine and a primary amine group, makes it a valuable building block in organic chemistry.
