Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

Both source (1-(3-(Dimethylamino)propyl)urea (CAS 31506-43-1, EC 401-950-2) )and target 1,3-bis[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]urea (CAS  52338-87-1, EC 257-861-2) substances are based on the reaction product of dimethylaminopropylamine (DMAPA) and urea.  

The main product of this reaction is the singly-substituted urea product, (3-(dimethylamino)propyl) urea (or mono-DMAPAU)

However, an unavoidable side-reaction is the formation of the doubly-substituted product, 1,3-bis[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]urea, which is formed by the disproportionation of mono-DMAPAU.

The test item contains approximately 15% of 1,3-bis[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]urea.

Read-across is also claimed based on structural similarity and properties of both reaction products. Justification attached.
