N-METHYL-P-ANISIDINE
N-methyl-p-anisidine (NMPA) is a low toxicity aromatic amine that combines amine and ether functional groups to provide molecule reliability and multifunctionality. The effectiveness and safety of the N-methyl-p-anisidine usage has been confirmed by Russian institutes JSC VNII NP and the 25th State Scientific Research Institute of chemmotology of the Russian Defence Ministry, by German scientific centers SGS and ISP Institute, as well as by R&D center of the Spanish oil refinery REPSOL, which was the first on EU market to produce high-octane gasoline based on NMPA.
In 2013, IFOTOP Company received a Skolkovo Grant for the development and implementation of a technology for the innovative high-quality amine industrial synthesis. We have developed and patented two of the safest and most cost-effective compared to existing methods, technologies for obtaining NMPA, a continuous process for large-scale production and a batch process for small and medium-scale production.
