3-Morpholinopropylamine

CAS: 123-00-2

Overview

3-Morpholinopropylamine (CAS 123-00-2 ), commonly abbreviated as AMPD, is a bifunctional amine combining a primary amine and a morpholine ring in a single molecule. This dual-functional structure makes it effective as a curing agent and catalyst.

It serves as a reactive intermediate across multiple industrial sectors. In epoxy coatings and adhesives, AMPD acts as a curing agent and crosslinker, contributing to adhesion performance and chemical resistance in protective formulations.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers use it as a building block for active ingredients and intermediates. The morpholine moiety is a recognized pharmacophore in drug design, making it a valuable component for specialized synthesis projects.

In water treatment, it functions as a biocidal agent and corrosion inhibitor additive. It is specifically used for targeting microbial growth in industrial cooling and process water systems to maintain operational efficiency.

Polyurethane and polymer formulators employ it as a reactive catalyst or chain extender. This application allows manufacturers to influence cure rates and final mechanical properties in a variety of industrial polymer systems.

3-Morpholinopropylamine is supplied as a liquid at standard commercial purities, typically 98% and above. Technical and reagent grades are the most commonly available for standard industrial and laboratory use.

Pharmaceutical-grade material is also accessible for API and intermediate applications. Packaging ranges from drums to IBC containers depending on volume requirements and specific logistical needs of the customer.
