Application

N,N′-Dimethyl-1,6-hexanediamine (DMHDA) can be used as an organic building block to synthesize:
  • Hydroxyurethane by reacting with propylene carbonate.
  • N,N′-dimethyl, N,N′-di(methacryloxy ethyl)-1,6-hexanediamine (NDMH), a monomer applicable as both a co-initiator and a reactive diluent for dental resins.
  • Degradable poly(amino alcohol ester) polymer by nucleophilic addition with diglycidyl adipate for the potential use in gene transfection vectors.
