(S)-(1,4-dioxan-2-yl)-N-methylmethanamine hydrochloride; CAS No.: 2055848-87-6; (S)-(1,4-dioxan-2-yl)-N-methylmethanamine hydrochloride. PROPERTIES: This chiral methanamine salt has molecular formula C6H12ClN2O. It typically appears as a white crystalline powder. The (S)-(1,4-dioxan-2-yl)-N-methylmethanamine hydrochloride exhibits high water solubility (exceeding 100 mg/mL) and moderate solubility in common polar solvents. Its melting point ranges between 150-155 C (with decomposition), and it has a molecular weight of approximately 163.62 g/mol (free base). When handling, care should be taken to avoid skin contact and use of proper respiratory protection. Storage should be in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, protected from light and moisture. The hydrochloride salt form makes it hygroscopic, requiring proper sealing during storage. In case of eye contact, immediate rinsing with water for 15 minutes is necessary. APPLICATIONS: The (S)-(1,4-dioxan-2-yl)-N-methylmethanamine hydrochloride functions as a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of muscarinic receptor antagonists for respiratory disorders where the dioxane group provides essential lipophilicity for receptor binding (as detailed in medicinal chemistry literature). The amine group provides hydrogen bonding capabilities important for receptor interaction. Additionally, the compound serves as a building block in the preparation of agrochemicals with insecticidal activity, though this application is mentioned only for informational purposes per your request. The amine group can be further functionalized through acylation or alkylation reactions to produce various derivatives for chemical research applications.
