Hexamine or methenamine is a heterocyclic organic compound with the formula (CH2)6N4. This white crystalline compound is highly soluble in water and polar organic solvents. It has a cage-like structure similar to adamantane. It is useful in the synthesis of other chemical compounds, e.g., plastics, pharmaceuticals, rubber additives. It sublimes in vacuum at 280 °C.
Hexamine, used in the Duff reaction (formylation of arenes), the Sommelet reaction (converting benzyl halides to aldehydes),and in the Delepine reaction (synthesis of amines from alkyl halides).
Hexamethylenetetramine - used in the Duff reaction, Sommelet reaction and in the Delepine reaction.
Hexamine, GR - used as a formylation agent in the synthesis and as a precipitating agent. It is also used in the production of phenolic resins and its moulding compounds, which finds application as binders in fire proof materials, brake and clutch linings.
