N-butyl-1-carbamimidamidomethanimidamide hydrochloride(CAS: 1190-53-0)

N-butyl-1-carbamimidamidomethanimidamide hydrochloride is a colorless crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 234.7 g/mol. It has a high solubility in water and organic solvents. Chemically, it is relatively stable but can react with bases. It is often used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and polymers.

N-butyl-1-carbamimidamidomethanimidamide hydrochloride is synthesized via the reaction of butyl isocyanate with urea in the presence of a suitable catalyst, such as triethylamine, followed by hydrochloric acid treatment. This method provides a yield of about 85% and good selectivity.

N-butyl-1-carbamimidamidomethanimidamide hydrochloride is primarily used in the pharmaceutical and polymer industries. It is also utilized in the production of sensors and semiconductors due to its unique chemical properties.

When handling N-butyl-1-carbamimidamidomethanimidamide hydrochloride, it is important to use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. In case of a spill, use appropriate absorbents and follow the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for disposal instructions.
