• Description: N-Methyl-1,2-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride (NMP) is a synthetic compound that is used as the precursor to various pharmaceuticals, such as the antihypertensive drug clonidine. NMP can be synthesized from benzene and ammonia or phenylmagnesium bromide. It is carcinogenic in animals and humans, and has been shown to cause DNA damage and cell apoptosis. The chemical has a high potential for nitrosation reactions when exposed to nitrites. This reaction produces nitric oxide, which is cytotoxic and can lead to liver cancer in rats.The synthesis of NMP generates impurities such as methanol solvent, sodium sulfide, and hydrogen chloride gas. These impurities are often found in recycled NMP due to incomplete removal during processing.
