Common Nameisopropylamine
DescriptionIsopropylamine is a primary amine belonging to the class of organic compounds known as aliphatic amines. Its chemical structure features a three-carbon isopropyl group attached to an amino group, which allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, including deprotonation under basic conditions, as demonstrated in studies measuring N-H bond strengths (PMID:41049058 ). Isopropylamine has been identified as a cost-effective amine donor in synthetic pathways, optimizing conversions in the production of other amines (PMID:40939783 ). Additionally, it is involved in the formulation of pesticides, notably as a salt in glyphosate isopropylamine, which has been studied for its acute toxicity in aquatic organisms like the narrow-clawed crayfish (Pontastacus leptodactylus) (PMID:40378186 ). Research indicates that exposure to glyphosate isopropylamine salt can lead to mild hepatopancreas alterations and significant DNA damage, raising concerns about its genotoxicity (PMID:40378186 ). Furthermore, isopropylamine is highlighted in protocols for synthesizing optically pure amines, showcasing its versatility in both chemical synthesis and environmental studies (PMID:40288843 ).
