Propylamine, also known as n-propylamine, is an amine with the chemical formula CH3(CH2)2NH2. It is a colorless volatile liquid. Propylamine is a weak base.Tranylcypromine is a propylamine antidepressant acting as a monoamine oxidase. Its current use in psychiatry is for the treatment of major depression.
The conformational isomerism of isopropylamine and n-propylamine has been investigated by means of an integrated strategy combining high-level quantum-chemical calculations and high-resolution rotational spectroscopy. The equilibrium structures (and thus equilibrium rotational constants) as well as relative energies of all conformers have been computed using the so-called “cheap” composite scheme, which combines the coupled-cluster methodology with second-order Møller–Plesset perturbation theory for extrapolation to the complete basis set.
Used in the manufacture of phase transfer catalyst such as Tetra Propyl Ammonium Bromide and Tetra Propyl Ammonium Hydroxide.
