4-Dimethylaminopyridine (CAS 1122-58-3)
QUICK LINKS
4-Dimethylaminopyridine (4-DMAP) is a versatile organic compound widely employed as a catalyst in chemical reactions, particularly in organic synthesis for the creation of amines and other nitrogen-containing compounds. This odorless, white crystalline solid possesses a boiling point of 285°C and a melting point of 75-77°C. With a strong base nature and a pKa of 13.3, 4-Dimethylaminopyridine significantly aids in the synthesis of esters and amides, as well as heterocyclic compounds like pyridines and quinolines. Acting as a catalyst, it enhances the formation of carbon-nitrogen bonds by functioning as a nucleophile that attacks the electrophilic carbon atom of the substrate, resulting in the establishment of a covalent bond between the carbon and nitrogen atoms. Consequently, 4-Dimethylaminopyridine remains widely employed in scientific research to expedite various chemical reactions of significance.
