Hexamethylenetetramine is a tetraamine compound with a structure analogous to adamantane.
Hexamethylenetetramine is used for amino acid preparation. It is also used in synthesis as a formylation agent and is employed in preparing specialized materials. It is also used as a precipitating agent.
Hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) may be used as:
- Raw material in the synthesis of blue emitting boron carbon oxynitride (BCNO) phosphors and Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods
- Catalyst in the synthesis of 2-amino-4H-pyran derivatives
- Surfactant in the synthesis of HMTA capped transition metals doped ZnS nanoparticles
- Precipitant and template in the synthesis of Ni(OH)2
