2-Methylaziridine (Propylenimine)(CAT: R046885) is a small, three-membered heterocyclic compound used primarily in industrial applications as a chemical intermediate. Its high reactivity stems from the strained nature of its aziridine ring, making it useful in alkylation reactions and in the synthesis of polymers, coatings, and adhesives. Despite its utility, 2-Methylaziridine is classified as a hazardous substance due to its toxic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic properties. It must be handled with caution under strictly controlled conditions. Its ability to react with nucleophiles allows it to be utilized in specialized applications, such as in the production of ion-exchange resins and other specialized materials.
