Off-white chunky solid.

2-CHLORO-N,N-DIMETHYL-1-PROPANAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE(4584-49-0) is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. . Amines are chemical bases. They neutralize acids to form salts plus water. These acid-base reactions are exothermic. The amount of heat that is evolved per mole of amine in a neutralization is largely independent of the strength of the amine as a base. Amines may be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated by amines in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.

This chemical is hygroscopic. Soluble in water.

Flash point data for this chemical are not available; however, 2-CHLORO-N,N-DIMETHYL-1-PROPANAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE is probably combustible.

Colourless to pale beige crystalline powder

2-Chloro-N,N-dimethylpropylamine hydrochloride (DMIC) is used as intermediate for the syntheses of pharmaceuticals (e.g. isothipendyl, methadone and promethazine) Product Data Sheet

Hydrochloride salt of 2-Dimethylaminoisopropyl Chloride, used in the synthesis of analogues of lipophilic chalcones, which act as antitubercular agents.

2-Dimethylaminoisopropyl chloride hydrochloride is used to synthesize drugs such as chlorpromazine, doxepin hydrochloride, and telden. It is an intermediate for the central nervous system depressant drug methaqualone and the antihistamine drug phenergan. It can also be used as an organic synthesis raw material to prepare substances such as (3(3(dimethylamino)propoxy)phenyl)boric acid.

Following the procedure of Schultz and Sprague, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 70, 48 (1948), a solution containing 3.77 g. of 1-dimethylamino-2-propanol and 10 ml. of chloroform was cooled with stirring to a temperature of about 0?? C. A solution of 5.72 g. of freshly distilled thionylchloride in 2 ml. of chloroform was added thereto. The reaction mixture was allowed to come to ambient temperature over a period of about 30 minutes and was then heated to refluxing temperature for an additional 30 minutes. The precipitated material redissolved on heating. 1-Dimethylamino-2-chloropropane hydrochloride began to crystallize from the boiling solvent. The reaction mixture was cooled, diluted with ether and filtered. The reaction product comprising 1-dimethylamino-2-chloropropane hydrochloride weighed about 5.5 g. (95 percent yield). Recrystallization yielded purified 1-dimethylamino-2-chloropropane hydrochloride melting at 192??-194?? C.
