CAS 15657-58-6: 2-methyl-1,4-diaminobutane

Description: 2-Methyl-1,4-diaminobutane, also known as 2-methylputrescine, is an organic compound characterized by its aliphatic structure featuring a butane backbone with two amine functional groups (-NH2) and a methyl group attached to the second carbon. This compound is a diamine, which means it contains two amine groups that can participate in various chemical reactions, including those involving nucleophilic substitution and condensation. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its state at room temperature. The presence of the amine groups imparts basic properties to the molecule, allowing it to form salts with acids. 2-Methyl-1,4-diaminobutane is of interest in biochemical research, particularly in studies related to polyamine metabolism, as it is a precursor to other biologically significant compounds. Additionally, it may have applications in the synthesis of polymers and other materials due to its reactivity. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks upon exposure.
