Atom Pharma’s 2-(Dimethylamino)Isopropyl Chloride Hydrochloride (DMIPC) is a highly reactive organic compound with the molecular formula C5H13Cl2N. Produced through the chlorination of 1-dimethylamino-2-propanol using thionyl chloride, DMIPC serves as a key intermediate in various organic synthesis reactions such as alkylation, acylation, and reductive amination. These processes lead to the production of a wide range of organic compounds.As a tertiary amine, the amine group in DMIPC can undergo quaternization, forming quaternary ammonium salts that are widely used as phase-transfer catalysts, surfactants, and ion-exchange materials. In the pharmaceutical industry, DMIPC is instrumental in synthesizing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), including drugs for tuberculosis. It plays a pivotal role in developing lipophilic chalcone analogues, which exhibit strong antitubercular properties, thus contributing to crucial tuberculosis treatments.
