Chemical properties: Colorless liquid. The melting point is -85°C, the boiling point is 125.8°C, the relative density is 0.8645 (20°C), the refractive index is 1.4189, and the flash point is 35°C. Soluble in water and alcohol. There is ammonia smell. Usage: It is used as the intermediate of promethazine and mesanton. Also used as a stabilizer for acrylonitrile polymers. 1-Dimethylamino-2-propanol can be chlorinated with thionyl chloride to obtain 2-chloro-1-dimethylaminopropane hydrochloride [584-49-0].
Used in the pharmaceutical industry, also as a stabilizer for acrylonitrile polymers
Production method 1. The propylene oxide method is obtained by the reaction of propylene oxide with dimethylamine.
2. Chlorinated isopropanol method by the reaction of chlorinated isopropanol with dimethylamine.
Flammability and Hazardous Characteristics:In case of open flame, high temperature and oxidant, it is more flammable; combustion produces toxic nitrogen oxide fumes
Storage and transportation characteristics: the warehouse is ventilated and dry at low temperature; dry powder, dry sand, carbon dioxide, foam, and 1211 fire extinguishing agent are stored separately from oxidants.
