methylaminomethyl
Methylaminomethyl is an organic functional group characterized by the presence of a methylamine (–CH₂NH₂) substituent attached to a carbon atom. It is a derivative of the aminomethyl group (–CH₂NH₂) with an additional methyl group (–CH₃) bonded to the nitrogen atom. This functional group is commonly encountered in various organic compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science.
The methylaminomethyl group can be represented as –CH₂NHCH₃, where the nitrogen atom is bonded to both a
In synthesis, the methylaminomethyl group can be introduced through various methods, including reductive amination, nucleophilic substitution,
Due to its versatility, the methylaminomethyl group is utilized in the development of drugs, such as certain
