Basaalilamina

Basaalilamina is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C10H14N2. It is an organic molecule belonging to the amine class of compounds, characterized by the presence of nitrogen atoms. Specifically, it is a diamine, meaning it contains two amino groups. The structure of basaalilamina consists of a benzene ring substituted with two methyl groups and two amino groups. The exact arrangement of these substituents on the benzene ring determines the specific isomer of basaalilamina. It is typically encountered as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the specific isomer and purity. Basaalilamina is soluble in organic solvents and has a characteristic amine odor. It can participate in various chemical reactions typical of aromatic amines, such as electrophilic aromatic substitution and reactions involving the amino groups. Its applications are generally limited, though it may be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds, dyes, or pharmaceuticals, depending on its specific properties and availability. Information regarding its widespread industrial use or specific commercial products is not extensively documented. As with many chemical compounds, appropriate handling procedures and safety precautions are necessary when working with basaalilamina due to potential health hazards.
