Manufacture

edit

It has been produced commercially as part of a mixture with the 1,4 derivative.[1] The primary route of manufacture is by catalytic hydrogenation of m-xylylenediamine usually called MXDA.

Uses

edit

Like most amines it maybe used as an epoxy curing agent. However, the presence of the amino group also means it can be used in polyurethane chemistry by reacting with isocyanates. In this case a polyurea would be produced. It may also be reacted with phosgene (phosgenation) to produce an isocyanate.

Safety

edit

It is corrosive with a Packing Group I designation.
