Desmethyl Doxylamine(CAS: 1221-70-1)

Desmethyl Doxylamine is a white crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 276.34 g/mol. It is slightly soluble in water and ethanol. The compound is relatively stable under normal conditions but can react with strong acids or bases. It has a melting point of about 140-142°C. For detailed properties, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

Desmethyl Doxylamine can be synthesized through a reduction process of doxylamine, where sodium borohydride or lithium aluminum hydride is used as a reducing agent. The synthesis involves careful control of temperature and reaction time to achieve high yield. Detailed procedures can be found in organic chemistry literature and patents.

Desmethyl Doxylamine is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry as an intermediate in the synthesis of other compounds. It is also utilized in the polymer industry for the production of certain polymers with specific properties. Additionally, it has applications in the electronic and semiconductor industries due to its reactivity.

When handling Desmethyl Doxylamine, it is essential to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and safety goggles. Ensure the use of a fume hood to minimize inhalation risk. Store the compound in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. In case of spillage, neutralize with an appropriate neutralizing agent and dispose of according to local regulations. Always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling instructions.
