Introduction: The Synergistic Sulfur-Nitrogen Scaffold

As we navigate through 2026, the demand for precision in agrochemical formulation has never been higher. 2-Methyl-1-methylthio-2-propylamine (CAS 36567-04-1) is the strategic intermediate that allows for the creation of molecules with both high lipophilicity and specific hydrogen-bonding capacity.

By integrating a methylthio (-SCH3) group with a tertiary-alkyl amine, this compound serves as the structural foundation for Flubendiamide, a premier insecticide used to safeguard global crops against lepidopterous pests. In 2026, its application has branched out into specialized epoxy curing agents and the development of next-generation anti-epilepsy drugs.

Product Insights

What is 2-Methyl-1-methylthio-2-propylamine?

It is a primary aliphatic amine where the nitrogen atom is attached to a sterically hindered tertiary carbon (the 2-position of a propane chain). The terminal carbon (the 1-position) is substituted with a methylsulfanyl group. This structure, CH3SCH2C(CH3)2NH2, is prized for its ability to participate in clean acylation reactions while maintaining the metabolic stability provided by the sulfur atom.

Applications of CAS 36567-04-1

Agrochemical Active Ingredients (APIs):

The vital intermediate for synthesizing Flubendiamide, a phthalic acid diamide insecticide that targets ryanodine receptors.

CNS Pharmaceuticals:

Used in the R&D of anti-epilepsy drug candidates, where the branched alkyl chain improves blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration.

Specialty Polymers:

Acts as a high-performance epoxy resin curing agent, providing superior thermal resistance and chemical durability in industrial coatings.

Dye Intermediates:

Employed in the 2026 dye industry to modify chromophores and improve the light-fastness of specialized industrial pigments.

Advantages of 2-Methyl-1-methylthio-2-propylamine

Steric Protection:

The twin methyl groups at the alpha-position shield the amine nitrogen, preventing unwanted side reactions during complex synthesis.

Enhanced Bioavailability:

The methylthio group increases the log P of final compounds, which in 2026 is a key strategy for improving the systemic movement of pesticides within plants.

Clean Reactivity:

Its primary amine is highly reactive toward acid chlorides and anhydrides, facilitating high-yield coupling even in large-scale industrial reactors.

Biomechanics: Ryanodine Receptor Modulation

In the context of 2026 insect science, derivatives of this compound function as Ryanodine Receptor (RyR) Modulators. The 2-methyl-1-methylthio-2-propylamine moiety acts as a hydrophobic anchor, allowing the insecticide to bind deeply within the receptor's transmembrane domain. This causes an uncontrolled release of internal calcium stores, leading to the rapid cessation of feeding and eventual paralysis of the target pest.

Technique of Synthesis: 2026 Precision

EASTFINE utilizes a high-efficiency synthetic route to ensure 2026-compliant purity:

Thioalkylation:

Reaction of isobutylene-derived precursors with sodium thiomethoxide (NaSCH3).

Ammonolysis:

Introduction of the amine group through a high-pressure amination process or via an oxime-reduction pathway.

Vacuum Distillation:

The crude product is refined through a multi-stage fractional distillation to remove all trace sulfur byproducts.

Assay Verification:

Final product is validated via GC-FID and H-NMR to confirm the absence of isomeric impurities.

Handling and Safety

Odor Containment:

Due to its pungent sulfurous odor, it must be handled in a closed-loop system with activated carbon scrubbers.

Storage Environment:

Store in 200L Galvanized Drums under an inert nitrogen atmosphere at 2°C – 8°C.

Protective Measures:

This compound is corrosive and toxic (H311/H314). Personnel must use full chemical-resistant suits and Viton gloves.

Conclusion

(CAS 36567-04-1) is a testament to the power of functionalized aliphatics. Its unique role in securing the global food supply through Flubendiamide synthesis makes it a high-priority intermediate for the 2026 chemical market.

The Growing Demand (Market/Application)

The 2026 demand for this compound is driven by the expansion of the "Green Agrochemical" sector. With a 6.8% CAGR, the market is particularly strong in Brazil and India, where large-scale rice and soybean production relies heavily on the insecticides derived from this high-purity amine.

Why is This Compound Industrially Critical?

The primary challenge in 2026 industrial use is Moisture and Purity Consistency. Even trace amounts of water (≥ 0.5%) can deactivate the catalysts used in the downstream synthesis of insecticides. High-purity CAS 36567-04-1 from EASTFINE ensures that industrial production remains efficient and cost-effective.

Key Supplier Selection Criteria

Minimal Moisture: Must be ≤ 0.1% for critical applications.

Total Impurities (GC): ≤ 0.5% to prevent toxic byproduct formation.

Regulatory Compliance: Full REACH and GHS-2026 documentation is mandatory.
