3-Methoxypropylamine

3-Methoxypropylamine (MOPA) is a widely used primary amine compound. It serves primarily as a mineral flotation agent, offering superior selectivity for iron ore flotation compared to conventional surfactants. Additionally, MOPA acts as a key intermediate in the synthesis of dyes such as Disperse Turquoise Blue S-GL and is extensively used in metal corrosion inhibitor formulations, typically constituting 5–15% of the total formulation mass. The increasing adoption of corrosion inhibitors in the petrochemical industry positions MOPA for promising future applications.
