n-methylpiperazine

N-Methylpiperazine (CAS 109-01-3) is a cyclic diamine building block used in pharmaceutical synthesis, polymer chemistry and industrial process chemistry.

Where is n-methylpiperazine used?

• Pharmaceutical manufacturing: structural component in synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients, including antipsychotics, antivirals and antibiotics where the piperazine ring is incorporated
• Polymer and epoxy systems: curing agent and cross-linker, where controlled reactivity with epoxide groups influences network density and mechanical properties
• Water treatment: biocide intermediate and corrosion inhibitor precursor for formulations controlling microbial growth in cooling and process water
• Catalyst production: ligand precursor and amine catalyst in polyurethane and specialty polymer manufacturing
• Its secondary and tertiary amine groups make it a reactive intermediate for constructing drug molecules.

Commercial specifications

• Purity typically 98% to 99%+ depending on application
• Colorless to pale yellow liquid in drum and IBC quantities, with bulk tanker options
