Application

Hexamethyleneimine (HMI) can be used in the preparation of:
  • zeolitic catalysts such as MCM-22 and MCM-49
  • SAPO-35, a molecular sieve
  • various microporous aluminosilicates and titanosilicates
  • organic-inorganic hybrid pervoskite


It can also been used in the total synthesis of various natural products and bioactive molecules such as (−)-balanol, indole estrogens, derivatives of daunorubicin and (+)-cetiedil.
