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.
Curing agent for epoxy resins, chemical intermediate.
A primary alicyclic diamine, also a tert-alkylamine.
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.
Strong irritant to eyes and skin, calls for
eye protection.
1,8-DIAMINO-P-MENTHANE is combustible.
