Product Information

• Name: 2-Amino-4-methylpentanenitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Amino-4-methylpentanenitrile is an industrial chemical that belongs to the group of carbamates. It is a chiral, asymmetric synthesis and has a catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation reaction. The compound is used in industry as an intermediate for the production of ethylene diamine, which is then used to produce polyurethane foam. 2-Amino-4-methylpentanenitrile can be produced by the hydration of 2-aminoethanol with formaldehyde, followed by hydrogenation of the resulting amide. This compound has been shown to have antihistamine effects and may be useful in treating allergies.
