General description

Di-(2-picolyl)amine (DPA), a secondary amine containing two picolyl substituents, acts as a tridentate ligand due to its three donor nitrogen atoms. It is commonly used in coordination chemistry for the synthesis of binary, ternary, and binuclear complexes with various metal ions, including copper (Cu) and cadmium (Cd). [1]

Application

Di-(2-picolyl)amine can be used as:
  • A reactant to synthesize di(2-pyridylmethylamino)alkanoic esters using ω-iodoaliphatic carboxylic esters in the presence of triethylamine.
  • A ligand to synthesize iron complexes of di-(2-picolyl)amine by treating with iron trichloride, which can be used to catalyze the direct hydroxylation of benzene to phenol.
  • A reagent for the protection of carboxylic acids as carboxamides of bispicolylamine.

Fe3O4@SiO2 nanospheres with a core-shell structure were synthesized and functionalized with bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (BPMA). The photoresponses of the as-obtained Fe3O4@SiO2-BPMA for Cr3+, Cd2+, Hg2+ and Pb2+ ions were evaluated through irradiation with a 352 nm ultraviolet lamp, and Fe3O4@SiO2-BPMA exhibited remarkable

Photocages have been used to elucidate the biological functions of various small molecules and Ca(2+) ; however, there are very few photocages available for other metal ions. ZinCleav-2 (1-(4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrophenyl)-N,N,N',N'-tetrakis-pyridin-2-ylmethyl-ethane-1,2-diamine) is a second-generation photocage for Zn(2+) that releases the metal ion

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/449/386/product-dating-information-mk.pdf
