Diacetonamine is a useful precursor in organic synthesis.

Diacetonamine and triacetonamine are formed in plant extracts:[1]

Diacetonamine contains an acetyl group, a primary amine, and two methyl groups.

Applications

It is known to have application in the synthesis of eucaine[2] & alpha-eucaine.[2]

Additionally it was used in the synthesis of [2104-81-6], an agent discovered by C. Robin Ganellin.[3][4] This compound has central nervous system activity as a combination of a stimulant and a depressant. A narcotic pharmacophore was associated with the structure in an earlier work.[5]

Another place that diacetonamine is used is in the synthesis of Eucatropine (euphtalmin) [100-91-4].[6] The synthesis route is via the precursor 2,2,6-trimethylpiperidin-4-one [3311-23-7].[7] This is the same chemical as was used in the synthesis of beta-eucaine (see above).

Synthesis

It is formed by the conjugate addition of ammonia to mesityl oxide.[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Mesityl oxide itself is formed from the dehydration of diacetone alcohol.[16] However, it can also be prepared directly from acetone without isolating the intermediate alcohol.

It is claimed that diacetonamine can also be prepared by the direct reaction between ammonia and acetone.[11][10] However, closer inspection of the literature reveals that different products are obtained from this reaction.[17][18]
