(2R)-3-(2-Methoxy-10H-phenothiazin-10-yl)-N,N,2-trimethyl-1-propanamine(CAS: 60-99-1)

This compound is a crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 319.4 g/mol. It has a low solubility in water but is more soluble in organic solvents. The compound is moderately reactive with basic compounds and less reactive with acids. It does not decompose under normal conditions and is stable to light and air.

The compound is synthesized through a multi-step process involving the coupling of 2-methoxyphenothiazine with 2,2,3-trimethyl-1-propanamine. Commonly, the synthesis involves the use of a palladium catalyst in the presence of a base. The reaction yields are moderate, with a selectivity towards the (2R) isomer of approximately 90%. The reaction conditions are optimized for temperature, catalyst concentration, and solvent choice.

This compound is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry for its potential therapeutic applications, particularly in the development of antipsychotic drugs. It is also utilized in the polymer industry for its electronic properties and in the semiconductor industry for its role as a dopant. Additionally, it has applications in the production of sensors due to its ability to interact with certain analytes.

When handling this compound, it is essential to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. The compound should be handled in a well-ventilated area, preferably in a fume hood, to minimize exposure. Spills should be cleaned up immediately using appropriate absorbent materials and disposed of according to local regulations. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed emergency procedures and storage guidelines.
