N,N-Dimethylisopropylamine may be used as an alkylating agent in the preparation of N-methylaniline via palladium catalyzed N-methylation of aniline under microwave condition. It may also be used to prepare a hypergolic ionic liquid by reacting with hydrazoic acid. N,N-Dimethylisopropylamine (DMIPA) is an acyclic tertiary amine. The protonation of DMIPA lead to the efficient migration of its methyl group to other nitrogen-containing compounds in the gas phase.
