General description

3-(Dimethylamino)-1-propylamine (DMAPA, N,N-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine) is a dialkylamino alkyl amine. It has been prepared from dimethylamine and acrylonitrile and confirmed by 1H NMR. It participates in the synthesis of bio-based zwitterionic surfactants from waste cooking oil (WCO).

Application

3-(Dimethylamino)-1-propylamine (DMAPA) is suitable reagent used in the following studies:
  • As a cationic moiety to form the ionic liquid, 3-(dimethylamino)-1-propylaminium formate ([DMAPA]FA) which is a potential reagent to extract protein from yeast cells.
  • As an aminating agent in the palladium-catalyzed amination of aryl amines.
  • In the derivatization of pullulan to form cationic pullulan.
  • In the partial modification of poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) to form N-substituted maleimide.
  • As a test compound in the parallel synthesis of alkylamine lipidoids.
  • To cleave the polyamides synthesized by solid phase methods on Boc-β-Ala-PAM resin.
It may be used in the following studies:
  • Synthesis of (N,N-dialkylamino)alkyl-2-amino benzamide by reacting with isatoic anhydride.
  • As a reagent for the anomeric deacetylation of protected sugars.
  • Preparation of bioreducible copolymers used in gene delivery.
