(±)-1,2-Propane-1,1,2-d3-diamine

(±)-1,2-Propane-1,1,2-d3-diamine, also known as 1,2-diaminopropane, is a colorless liquid with a molecular formula of C3H10N2. It is a deuterated form of 1,2-diaminopropane, with three deuterium atoms replacing three hydrogen atoms in the molecule. 1,2-diaminopropane is commonly used in the production of polyurethane foams, epoxy resins, and pharmaceuticals. It is also used as a crosslinking agent in the production of polyamides, such as nylon. The deuterated form, (±)-1,2-Propane-1,1,2-d3-diamine, has similar uses in these industries, but is often used in research and analytical applications as a labeled compound for mass spectrometry analysis. The chemical properties of (±)-1,2-Propane-1,1,2-d3-diamine are similar to those of 1,2-diaminopropane, but with slightly different physical properties due to the presence of deuterium atoms. It has a boiling point of 120-122°C and a density of 0.88 g/mL at 25°C. In terms of safety, (±)-1,2-Propane-1,1,2-d3-diamine can be corrosive to the skin and eyes, and may cause respiratory irritation if inhaled. It should be handled with care and used in a well-ventilated area. Proper protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, should be worn when handling this compound.
