General description

Toxicity of hexamethylenediamine dihydrochloride has been investigated. Hexamethylenediamine dihydrochloride is also known as 1,6-diaminohexane dihydrochloride, 1,6-hexamethylenediamine dihydrochloride, 1,6- hexylenediamine dihydrochloride or 1,6-diamino-n-hexane dihydrochloride. Hexamethylenediamine dihydrochloride on fusion of 1:6-di-(N3-cyano-N1-guanidino)-hexane yields polymeric diguanides.

Although urinary 1,6-hexamethylene diamine (HDA) is a useful biomarker of exposure to 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), a large degree of unexplained intra- and inter-individual variability exists between estimated HDI exposure and urine HDA levels. We investigated the effect of individual and

Two simple and reliably accessible intermediates, N-carboxypentyl- and N-aminohexyl-1-deoxy-D-galactonojirimycin were employed for the synthesis of a set of terminally N-dansyl substituted derivatives. Reaction of the terminal carboxylic acid of N-carboxypentyl-1-deoxy-D-galactonojirimycin with N-dansyl-1,6-diaminohexane provided the chain-extended fluorescent derivative. Employing bis(6-dansylaminohexyl)amine, the
