[Product Description]
 
Amine is a group of basic organic compounds derived from ammonia (NH3) by replacement of one (primary amines), two (secondary amines), or three (tertiary amines) hydrogen atoms by alkyl, aryl groups or organic radicals. Amines, like ammonia, are weak bases because the unshared electron pair of the nitrogen atom can form a coordinate bond with a proton. Amines react with acids to give salts and with acid anhydrides (or ester ) to form amides. They react with halogenoalkanes to form longer chains.
 
Many amines are not only bases but also nucleophiles that form a variety of electrophile compounds. They are important intermediates for chemical syntheses due to the basic functionality of the nitrogen atom and electrophilic substitution at nitrogen.
 
Methylamine is a raw material for N-methylpyrrolidone and also for carbamate insecticides and other carbamate-based products. Relatively smaller quantities are converted to alkylalkanolamines, surfactants and explosives. It is mainly used in the production of pharmaceutical, pesticide, inhibitor, high energy fuel, dyestuff and rubber curing ingredient, etc.
