Feedstock for polymer synthesis. Source of twelve carbon chain for medicinal drugs.1
1,12-Diaminododecane is used for synthesis of medicinal drugs, polymers.
ChEBI: An alkane-alpha,omega-diamine that is dodecane substituted by amino groups at positions 1 and 12.
Diamines containing more than six carbon atoms can be obtained readily by hydrogenating the corresponding dinitriles over a Raney nickel catalyst in a batch procedure under pressure at up to 125 ℃. A five- to tenfold excess of liquid ammonia is used, with or without methanol solvent. Higher diamines can be prepared continuously, as described for the production of hexamethylenediamine.
