(2R,3R)-1-(DIMETHYLAMINO)-3-(3-METHOXYPHENYL)-2-METHYLPENTAN-3-OL HYDROCHLORIDE(CAS: 175590-75-7)

This compound is a white to off-white crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 324.38 g/mol. It is slightly soluble in water and slightly soluble in ethanol. The compound is moderately reactive, particularly towards bases and reducing agents. It can be affected by heat and light, leading to degradation over time.

This compound can be synthesized via a multistep process involving nucleophilic substitution and alkylation reactions. Commonly, dimethylamine is reacted with 3-methoxyphenylmethyl chloride to form the alcohol, which is then reacted with 2-methylpentanal to form the final compound. The reaction typically involves use of a catalyst and proceeds with good selectivity and yield.

This compound is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of certain drug molecules. It is also used in the polymer industry as a building block for various polymer formulations and in the sensor industry for developing chemical sensors.

Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, laboratory coat, and safety goggles should be worn when handling this compound. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. In case of spillage, immediately clean up the area using appropriate safety procedures and refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for specific guidelines.
