Chemical Properties
dark coloured liquid
Uses
1,8-Diamino-
p-menthane is generally used in the synthesis of various Schiff bases that are used in the preparation of coordination complexes with Cu(II), Zn(II), Cr(III), Fe(III) and Co(III) ions. It is also used as a precursor to synthesize heterocyclic Schiff base derivatives with herbicidal activity.
Uses
Curing agent for epoxy resins, chemical intermediate.
Definition
A primary alicyclic diamine, also a tert-alkylamine.
General Description
Blackish liquid.
Air & Water Reactions
Slightly water soluble .
Reactivity Profile
1,8-DIAMINO-P-MENTHANE neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen may be generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.
Hazard
Strong irritant to eyes and skin, calls for
eye protection.
Fire Hazard
1,8-DIAMINO-P-MENTHANE is combustible.
