Aqueous solution of dimethylamine Basic Information

Monomethylamine aqueous solution Basic Information

Dimethylamine is a colorless gas with the odor of ammonia. It has the chemical formula (CH3)2NH and is an amine compound. The following is a description of the properties, uses, preparation, and safety information for Dimethylamine:

Properties:

1. Appearance: colorless gas, soluble in water, reacts with inorganic acids and inorganic bases.

2. odor: similar to ammonia, strongly irritating and corrosive.

3. Stability: relatively stable, not easy to decompose at room temperature.

Uses:

1. Industrial use: Dimethylamine is mainly used as a solvent and extractant for the synthesis of dyes, resins, softeners and chemical intermediates.

2. Pharmaceutical uses: Dimethylamine is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of certain drugs, such as the synthesis of antipyretic and analgesic drugs.

Method of Preparation:

1. Dimethylamine can be prepared by the catalytic reaction of isopropylamine and formaldehyde, and the isopropanol produced in the reaction further reacts to produce dimethylamine.

2. Another method of preparation is by the reaction of ammonia and formaldehyde to produce a condensate containing dimethylamine, which is then obtained by dehydration acidolysis.

Safety Information:

1. dimethylamine is irritating and corrosive, avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes.

2. Avoid inhaling the odor of dimethylamine as it is highly irritating.

3. wear appropriate protective equipment such as gloves, protective glasses and goggles when working with dimethylamine.

4. maintain a well-ventilated environment when storing and handling dimethylamine.
