3,5-dimethylpyrazole

3,5-Dimethylpyrazole (CAS 67-51-6), commonly abbreviated as DMP, is a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound used primarily as a nitrification inhibitor in agricultural and industrial applications.

Where is 3,5-dimethylpyrazole used?

• Agriculture: active component in formulations applied with urea and ammonium-based fertilizers to improve nitrogen use efficiency in crops
• By blocking the enzymatic conversion of ammonium to nitrate in soil, it extends nitrogen availability and reduces nitrous oxide emissions.
• Pharmaceuticals: building block for synthesizing pyrazole-containing APIs
• Its reactive NH group enables controlled derivatization for various intermediates.
• Water treatment: managing nitrification in wastewater systems and cooling towers
• Personal care: preservation and stabilization systems requiring heterocyclic nitrogen chemistry

Commercial specifications

• Purity specifications commonly 98% to 99%+, confirmed by GC or HPLC analysis
• Packaging in kilogram-scale quantities for laboratory and development use, scaling to bulk drum supply for industrial and agrochemical production
