Methylamines

Abstract: Methylamines are derivatives of ammonia with one, two, or all three hydrogen atoms replaced by methyl groups. Amines with alkyl groups of 2‐6 carbons are known as aliphatic amines, and amines with still larger alkyl groups are known as fatty amines. Methylamines are soluble in various organic solvents. All have a strong fishy odor. Methylamines are toxic, colorless gases or compressed liquids. They are highly flammable. Methylamines can be prepared by a variety of methods. Commercial processes involve reaction… Show more

“…N-alkyl secondary amine derivatives linked to herbicides and pharmaceuticals have been demonstrated as numerous biologically active compounds for drug discovery. [1] N-benzyl secondary amines, in particular, have attracted considerable attention from both biological and organic chemists. This is because they appear as carboxamide derivatives, which are the most prevalent structural moieties in medicinal chemistry.…”

“…MANs are colorless gases or compressed liquids, toxic, highly flammable, soluble in various organic solvents and have a strong fishy odor. They are used as intermediates in the manufacture of surfactants, solvents, pharmaceuticals, rubber, agricultural and water treatment chemicals (CGA, 1990;Turcotte & Hayes, 2001).…”
