About Dinitropentamethylenetetramine

Dinitropentamethylenetetramine is a nitrosamine impurity of Hexamine carrying the CAS registry number 949-56-4. The compound has the formula C5H10N6O4, corresponding to a molecular weight of 218.17 g/mol. Its systematic (IUPAC) name is 3,7-dinitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane. Common synonyms include DPT (the tetraazabicyclononane derivative).

The product is provided as a solid. Reference materials should be stored sealed and away from light and moisture, as specified on the accompanying COA. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

It is used as a reference standard for trace-level detection and quantitation of nitrosamine impurities by LC-MS/MS or GC-MS, supporting nitrosamine risk assessments for Hexamine, method validation (AMV) and regulatory filings. Buyers come mainly from pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

Vaqora Chemicals supplies Dinitropentamethylenetetramine in 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg packs, each shipped with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), and exports worldwide.
