Chemical compound

Propyleneimine (or propylene imine) is the organic compound with the formula CH3CH(NH)CH2. It is a secondary amine and the smallest chiral aziridine (ring containing C2N). It is a flammable colorless liquid. Its derivatives, copolymers and oligomers, are of commercial interest.

Uses

This chemical is used in the paper, textile, rubber and pharmaceutical industries. Propyleneimine is also used in making paint.

The top global producers of this specialty chemical include DuPont, Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Corporation, Sigma-Aldrich, Dixie Chemical Company, J and K Scientific, Apollo Scientific, Mitsui Chemicals.

The compound is also of interest for the synthesis of dendrimers, a process that exploits the tendency of aziridines to undergo ring-opening reactions.

Health Effects

NIOSH considers propyleneimine a potential occupational carcinogen.

According to a report prepared for the United Church of Christ, propyleneimine emissions from the Dixie Chemical Company facility in Bayport, Pasadena, Texas, are one of the top ten toxicity-weighted air pollutions in the United States.
